SOURCE: Its sounds like a thump from back diff

If you have a 4x4 most likely your rear axel bushing is cracked, no big deal, just swing by your nearest Toyota dealer and order it. it goes for about $120. Easy to replace, use wd4 or nutsoff to spray inside the car body a few hours before trying to replace it. The accumulated dirt and road salt make it very hard to take the two long bolts out without a ¨fight¨. Please make sure you use a support jack to hold the rear axel in place when you get the bushing out.
Good luck.

SOURCE: engine runs rough in gear.

Okay disconnect battery for 3 min to reset engine light to turn off! change wire #2 to #3, Swap them then start it. if misfire happens again if your fault codes goes from po302 to po303 then your ignition wires should be changed!!! if it is the same the that side of coil might be at your point of interest to change but I think spark wires might do it!!!! spark plugs should be the same time!!!! I think this will help??

BA Falcon m86 v8 limited slip diff torque specs for full overhaul , and change of ratio. Can't find any help through ford at all.

all differentials are all set to the same specifications as to pinion bearing preload , carrier bearing preloads and back lash between the crown wheel and pinion
the contact pattern is always the same as is the torque measurement of the drown wheel to carrier bolts
so any workshop manual that has a differential repair section will have what you want
find yourself a ford workshop manual and follow the section as to rebuilding a diff
Note --the pinion will have a + or - measurement on the end and that denotes the thickness of the spacer under the pinion between the pinion and the bearing inner race
you will have to get that right or the contact pattern will be out
3.7 ration is in utes or station wagons so it may be simpler to get one out of that vehicle and re-race it as all you will need then is new bearings and a collapsable spacer and a good tension wrench and a spring balance to get the pinion bearing preload correct

I have a 1992 Ford F350.Just replaced the rear end. It still makes a clunking noise when I put it in reverse. What could it be

the "backlash" felt by reversing the drive shaft direction is normally the clearance in the spider gears in the diff so to get rid off that ( not necessary unless it is excessive) is to pull the diff center out and fit new thrust washers behind the spider gears
next check the diff mount bushes as the diff reaction will move the bolts in the mounts and make the noise

Every 3-4 months my isuzu fsr550 tears out the centre beari

Hi Trevor, The vibration tells us that something is out of balance. It would be a good idea to have the whole shaft balanced and the universal joints inspected for wear. There are two ways in which a universal joint can be damaged, The most common is a roller bearings collapse and the other is a seized unit. There is another possibility and that is if there has been damage to the chassis or frame of the vehicle. Regards John

Intermittent backlash in drive train appears to be between transfer case to front diff in 4th gear on bitumen when centre diff lock engaged no more backlash. mainly occurs when at a constant speed ie 70 to...

you shouldnt be in 4 wheel drive on bitumen you will get "bind up" of drive train which can cause damage or excessive freeplay in other components in drive train, inspect freeplay in universal joints on tailshafts, centre bearing and diff backlash specs, some backlash is quite normal, inspect trans/transfer case mounts also.

I want to change my 4.9 6 cyl to a 302 v8 1990 150 ford

A donor truck is a good idea, but the transmission, bell housing, cross members and transmission mounts will all be the same as long as you dont go from manual to auto or opposite. motor mounts will be different tho. i put a manual trans off of a 94 F-150 with a 300 6-cyl into my 91 bronco with a 351 V8 (5.8L) and used all the mounts and crossmembers off of the 94. only thing is the petal assm was different due to body changes. and the 5.8L also has a 11" clutch **** and the 5.0L and 4.9L both use a 10" disk. the bad thing is you will have a ton of stuff to change like the ECU, and engine harness and and other then the Ypipe and converters the exhaust will work. such a project is not for the faint of heart.

Could you tell me what is involved in changing diff ratio in a 43 seat mercedes bus. i want to change it to highway ratio

It's a lot of calculation that is needed.You need to think a lot about the power that the engine gives out and if you will change it to highway ratio,think if the engine can handle when it will be driving uphill etc..Work out your engine power,gear box and diff and see if they can work out together...

Differential

I don't know your experience level, but setting up a rear end is challenging for even experienced people. If you don't get the gear pattern correct, you will have nothing but problems. There are some short cuts, but a pinion depth setting tool and dial indicator are some of the necessary tools to do it correctly.
If you are just changing it to swap the gear ratio, I would say leave it alone or pay someone. If yours is broken, I would recommend getting one out of a junkyard, rather than trying to get the tools, parts etc. You will be money ahead
