    Rear End Girdle.

    you load the bearings, because under launch if a cap goes, your carrier gets spit strait back. the girdle supports this area some. besides, the girdles look so cool you're sure to gain at least 10 hp lol.

    Help! trans problems

    you could drop the pan yourself, the only trouble i find is that most people don't know what to look for. i would suggest letting a good reputable shop drop the pan, with you watching (if they allow it) a good tech will be able to explain what the debris he sees is coming from.

    Help! trans problems

    if the band broke, then you can likely just change it. if it burned up and is making metal, then you should strip it completely. all depends how much metal contamination there is. if you have no experience with automatics, then i would definately suggest letting a shop handle it.

    Best Rear End Gear Oil

    i would say synthetics should be fine. however, when i installed my eaton posi, there was a tag in the box that said to not use synthetic oil. maybe the clutch plates don't like it? it said to use regular gear oil with the friction modifier. any eaton guys out there that know?

    Easy to swap diffs?

    it's quite easy, but you should use a dile indicator to measure backlash before and after. just mark the caps and shims as they come apart, put em back the same way, torque the caps, and hope fully the backlash is within a thow or two of where you started.

    31 splines conversion via Explorer,F-150 trac-loc question.

    any year. if it had a towing package or off road package. look at the tag on the diff cover. eg. 355 trak-loc will have a 3L55 on the tag, no L if it's open.
