I believe welded, as in one piece with non-serviceable gears. Here is a quote from the service manual: This is an open differential. It has the normal internal spider gear design that will allow a speed differential between the rear wheels when cornering. The open differential has the ring...

Coincidentally, just got shipment notification that mine will be here Saturday. Unfortunately, the warm spell coming tomorrow will be short-lived, so I'll be looking forward to breaking out my reciprocating saw on chilly Saturday. Still have the MRT H-pipe attached, so I'll be curious how it...

For someone who is such a JLT nut-swinger, you sure are way too concerned about what Mishimoto is doing. I passed along the information I had, and since it's a new release and purchased on a pre-buy, I figure it will show up soon enough. Couldn't really care less.

It's a great differential, but one more thing to add that came from a rep at Torsen: I believe the OEM ring gear is actually welded to the differential in the Explorer's factory rear. That being said, I don't think you'll be able to source the gears or remove the ones you already have (or if you...

Stalker alert. He quoted my 'connected and all-knowing' information right in his post (This will help you ---> Linky).

That’s a generic message - have received it a few times. A phone call gave me different information.

Well, since I should have apparently run it by you: got it lightly used for much less than its new cost. Figured I’d see if it would change my opinion on the product line. It didn’t. The Mishimoto kit coincidentally came out at the same time and saved me from fabricating my own bracket. Easy enough.

I have my reasons for not preferring anything by JLT - goes back many years. Enough said. Zero desire to bother with requesting longer hoses, which the kit I fit sorely needed. Good for you if you dig the stuff and get in your launches. I’ll get right on that typo correction…

They aren’t ‘taking down’ the kit. I am. I installed one briefly on my ST - in a matter of minutes - and didn’t like how tight the hoses were. Simple as that. The plastic elbows I’ve seen snap in the Mustang community also turned me off to their products. More than once. The custom kit I have...

They take about 5 minutes to install - not the point. The tight fit of the hoses puts stress on the plastic elbows, which I’ve seen break in Mustang applications. Was happy to just pay a bit extra for the Mishimoto kit with specific custom hoses rather than spend the time fabricating a bracket...

The nice thing about the Mishimoto can is that it uses custom molded hoses and aluminum fittings. With the JLT, it's a tight fit with the supplied hoses and you have plastic fittings that could easily break. The reality is, however, that anyone can buy a generic can for around $25, fabricate a...

The differential used is close to the Super 8.8 in the Mustang, and to the best of my knowledge, the Torsen uses the 34-spline shafts. For a swap in to an ST, it could be easy, especially if you have the entire carrier (would be nice if Ford Performance would offer that some day, so I’ll mention...

…with one of my original points being that the smallest diff Torsen makes for Ford is an 8.8.

Yes, that is under a Timberline. And no, the rear sway bars are not all the same sizes. The ST/Aviator is 21.7mm, the others are 20mm, and the PD is 23mm.

I know the difference, hence my comment that Torsen does not make them for Ford smaller than 8.8. If it helps your curiosity, here’s a couple pictures: 8.8. Same size rear sway bar as the ST, and this particular one has the thre-bolt cradle as well.

It’s right there in the Order Guide: 3.58. The smallest diff Torsen makes for Ford is/was 8.8. Have a T2R in my ‘03 Cobra and it rocks. Would be a great score for the ST.

A rep I chatted with last week told me they should be shipping in the next couple weeks. Apparently they are on the way to distributors, for what that is worth.

That’s my post in the other forum. Glad it’s still plugging along and helping out.

It's stated in the directions and should be obvious by looking at the picture of it installed. No different than the other axle-back kits out there, or custom replacement of the mufflers.

Cargo net helps…
