Has been fine since. IIRC, one of my cables was the same way, and I have had no problems.

Yes, most newer Fords. Had the same problem with my Ranger Raptor and my Bronco. Disabled all and that annoyance is gone (2 click might solve the problem too). Somehow these jobs always manage to hit stuff in my pocket. You can add auto window down and up w/remote too. IIRC Bronco comes...

I know all about the caliper brackets fiasco. They actually called me to ask if I had checked mine, and if they had stayed tight...which I did, and they were. The counterfeit locktite thing never really passed the smell test to me, but whatever, for the record I didn't use any of the...

I guess what I am not understanding is, if you suspect it's leaking through the input gear seal, and you have it that far apart, couldn't you replace that seal and call it fixed? Maybe they got some bad ones? Maybe the garter spring (if it is that type) came off when tapping the seal in? I...

That's why I'm here...doesn't make much sense to me that you guys are having the problems you are having You kinda answered your own question there. The race industry works this way. It's impossible to fully test every possible combination. If you are risk-adverse, you gotta stick w/what...

I had a lower ball joint that I did not seat properly on my LF. I saw it when I put it on the alignment rack after the install. Had i missed that I probably would have wobbled out the LF "upright" as he calls them. Just the stuff that can happen w/a installl like this...sorta like putting the...

Those are called "rollover valves". They are activated by gravity. When your racecar is upside down they stop fuel from spilling out and setting you on fire while upside down (which is the absolute most inopportune time to be on fire). They do not discern air from liquid

Huh. I have no such weird stuff on mine, and never leaked a drop.

What was the fix for the fronts?

I have mine in the 74weld location, and I did a week at SMORR where I could have run pewee's crossing on a jetski. I changed the fluid after that and had ZERO water contamination. Since then I just am not worried about it

A fluid pump can be an air pump too, if it's spun fast enough

Till you are hauling ass down the highway

That is how you set the fluid level. Just enough fluid to recirculate in reverse, but not pump out. You aren't going to do 80mph in reverse. Put it the opposite way and ya, it's gonna puke out at high speeds

Well then they can't very well "vent" can they?

The portal gears/housing are also a pump. If you vent both the intake and discharge side, they will pump fluid out, and air in, until they are dry. You would need some form of reservoir to run the dual vent setup you guys are trying to do, and while that might be kinda cool, would be...
