why would my rear end chatter or stutter when turning a corner left or right. when I go straight nothing happens, and yes I have the additive
in the rear end and it still does it. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]

You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.
You may need more friction modifier. I put Amsoil in mine and it was said not to need it. After about 10K miles the shudder appeared going left or right. Needed to add friction modifier.

Not to be a hole in the bucket, but the same thing happened to my parent's '03 F-250, and it turned out the clutch pack in the rear was destroyed. They only had just over 50K miles on it when it happened. Same symptoms..... just fine in a straight line, but shudders when cornering. Sad thing is the symptoms have popped back up again recently.
really well I hope I do not have to do that how much will it cost to have that fixed.
I have put the whole tube of friction modifier plus i use amsoil in the rear end.
how much would one of those would cost i just called ted russell ford
and they told me it would cost 1200 to 1300 dollars to fix it.
do you have a web site that i could look at.
How many ounces were in the tube of friction modifier? I had to use a little more than one bottle in mine when I switched to Amsoil. I think I ended up with 6 ounces.

I am currently going through the same problem. My advice at this point is have fresh fluid and 8 ounces of modifier, as recommended by ford. Then do some figure 8 turns and give it some miles and see if it stops. If not, then you are in my boat- scheduling a new LSD install. I have chosen the detroit truetrac and will hopefully have it installed next week. I chose the truetrac because it is gear driven and no clutches to wear out again.

1200-1300 is a rip call your local gear diff shop and see what he can do for you i bet you could get a new Eaton at your local shop installed for 700 or less. I will look around and see what I can find on the net and post back.

The lowest price that I could get for the truetrac with bearings and shims was $595. I am purchasing mine through the gear shop that I am having the work done, they are charging basically the same. The average install price that I have run into in my area is $425. The eaton posi is basically the same cost.
The place that I chose is supposed to be very reputable, but is 3 hours from home. THe install price is much cheaper than in my area though.
