Technical Details For 7.5" T-LOK Install

[sohcman]

Hi guys,

I have decided to give you all the list of parts needed for installing the 7.5" T-LOK differential. Also listed are the costs incurred and where the parts were obtained for my install.

OK, from the top:

1.) T-LOK differential ($169.95+$21.95 shipping) (RPM Outlet)
2.) 2x LM501349 Bearing (2x $20.44) (Ford)
3.) 2x LM501314 Bearing (2x $10.38) (Ford)
4.) XL-3 Additive ($6.66) (Ford)
5.) 3x XY-75W140-QL (x3 $18.37) (Ford)

Total Parts (Ford dealer) = $123.41

Labor @ 38,500 miles 4.5 hrs (axle shafts wouldn't separate after 38k miles)

If you get yours done with lower miles it should be around 3 hrs.

If you add gears at this time there should be NO EXTRA CHARGE! The gears have to come out and go back in anyway!!!! Don't let them BS you!

Hope this helps anyone who has questions.

SOHC

I am getting ready to order these parts from RPMoutlet.com and I am curious if the motive gear master differential bearing kit will cover all those Ford parts you listed?

Total was around $700 for everything.

Sorry, couldn't tell you.

you get any grief for bringing your own parts ( cutting the garage out of profits on parts)? Is that commonly done?

I think my dealer was happier than me.

He kept asking "Did you get the part yet?"

After the install he asked "what are we doing next?"

PS: they were not a Ford Racing Distributor before the mod. He is NOW a Ford Racing Distributor... LOL

Did Ford want you to go back after so many miles to check everything out and re-torque all of the bolts?

My pony is in the shop once every two weeks or so for oil changes so they checked them then.
