    Does anyone here who has the for 7.5 T-lok installed in their V6 experience noise with it? My T-lok going into turns at slow speeds, like pulling in my driveway or parking in a spot makes a weird noise. Is that the T-lok engaging or is something off, it isn't loud or anything but it sounds like it is doing something back there.

    check out the TSB list. ther is a similar TSB for the 8.8 rear ends. may give you some ideas on your problem. does the 7.5 also require the friction modifier? was it added?

    Where is the plug for the rear differential? Is it hard to get to the differential plug to add oil to the rear?

    not sure on the 7.5, but the 8.8 has it on the front side of the rear end, on the drivers side. its a PITA to add fluid to that location without a siphon pump. :(
