Okay. I took mine off my car like several have. But ive noticed explanations as to how important it is. Why doesnt a v6 mustang of the same year have it?

The V6 models run a different rear end (7.5") than the GT/Cobra. Not sure what significance that has, but I'd be willing to bet that has something to do with it.

I think all it does it cancel out a noise from the stock gears. For some reason they make a certain frequency that will make a noise. I left mine on when I did my gears because I wasnt sure what it was for. But I think you can take it off when you do a gear swap.

I know JT has a HUGE article on it.

yeah...i knew the v6 models used a smaller rear end. Does anyone know if the trucks with 8.8s had the dog bones?

My Ranger with an 8.8 didn't have one. It came with 3.73 gears though.

Yeah, but differences are present I'm sure. The only rears that are almost identical are the FX4 one's ... and some explorer one's. Anyone know if they have dog bones?
