If its your DD, 3:73 would be good.

I am not too knowledgeable on that, but from what I observed of gear install, they recommends new bearings. But since you have an '06 and under 60k miles (assuming), that may not be necessary. You will need gear lubricants.

Someone more knowledgeable at this, please confirm if this is correct. Don't want to give bad info.

ya its actualy under 30 right now and what kind of gear lubracant do u think would be the best

 

[sdsubzero4]

Royal Purple.

 

[LaughingGT]

damn i know that stuffs pricey hahhaa

 

[sdsubzero4]

You get what you pay for. But them stuff are great. I think its like $10 a bottle.

i run valvoline oil and stuff like that i have never had a probliem with it and when we raplaced the axel in my dads 78 f150 we used valvoline it wored great come to mention it i have removed gears before just not on a modern vehical hahahha

3;73 and 4:10s will not be that much different in MPG... but its your car... and ask phil i beilieve there is a difference in the 8.8 of the 05 and up

 

[Foxman]

**** Royal purple...

 

[LaughingGT]

alright how much diffrent could it be ???

 

[Foxman]

on gear lub... i would go with valv and some kind of friction modifier for the LSD!

 

[Foxman]

i dont care for the new body style mustang so on the difference of the rear ends i have no idea, never done any of the research

thanks for the input hopefuly phil will see this and put his 2 cents in
