FDUs - what is the difference:

[Brian_B]

Ford Performance M-3002-470BF M210 4.7
https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-3002-470BF
$1,965 MSRP

Differential Carrier - Ford (MB3Z-4141-C) M210 4.7
https://www.ruxerparts.com/oem-parts/ford-differential-carrier-mb3z4141c
$1,530 MSRP

Best I can tell the only difference is some black paint.

Starting to look as my m190 may finally be on the way out.

Well, one is a drawing and the other appears to be real... Does that help?!? lol

Paging @Ducati1098 or @flip

Ford just doesn't have their stock photo people on top of things so the one from our parts site, Revolution, I believe uses Motors for their images. The one below is from Microcat and the FDU comes with all of the items with the orange square next to them.

No idea what the difference is beside price and that Ford Performance is selling. Not sure what the warranty is on the FP but buying the "Ford" part, you get a 2yr/unlimited mileage warranty like all Ford parts. $1,500 is the list price, 6G members get a better deal BUT the shipping would eat up any savings due to weight.

You want neither, M-3002-446BF is the 4.46 gearing and some Ford Performance axles. Since I have a summit racing credit card, I will link the following.

Nah,

If I'm upgrading the FDU I only want to do it once.

M-4209-470

I guess 5.13 would be an option too, it would definitely bring back 6th gear and put 37s within easy reach, that just locks you into the Ford performance model. Buy once cry once I guess. 5.38 probably a bit much, I drive it quite a bit on road still.

I would go 5.38 or 5.13 otherwise the 5% difference from 4.46 to 4.70 isn't worth doing the rear. @Dusty would be the person to bug on what gearing.

Maybe I am wrong but one is JUST the center section and the other the Center and axle tubes. And 5.13 would be the way to go in my opinion assuming your not thinking of doing a ton of rock crawling

5.38 if ya are thinking 37s…
