Hi all
I have a complete rebuild kit here in the garage part # 5L3Z-4209-C. I beleive it was some type of repair kit for the 8.8's.
I just bought a 2007 GT/CS and was thinking of swapping the stock 3.31's I beleive w this kit and the 3.73's included.
1st ? I guess is .... Are all 8.8 ring & pinion set the same for all years?? This kit was going to go into my 1991 but I am now selling it since I got the 2007. So I was goona use them on the 07.
2nd is what is up w/ the newer gear sets on FMS web sit.. see below....
Replaces our popular M-4209-F373. New manufacturing technology utilizing a Face Hob Process which features a single-pass pinion tooth machining
operation compared to a conventional three-pass process for machining. CNC cut and lapped gear teeth. Higher strength and better quality gears are
produced with the Face Hob Process. NOTE: These new gears look a little different, the gear teeth are cut on a different angle and the ring gear has a
bevel on the back of the gear.
Should I sell the kit and get a set of these??? Are they that much better? Anyone have any feedback??
THANX
