I have a 92' Ford Ranger XLT with 2.9 V6. It has the 7.5 inch limited slip rear axle with 4.10 gear ratio
I've monitored a humming noise from my rear differential for a long time. It kinda' sounds like those big off-road tires. I had bearings replaced in my rear axle assembly about 10 years ago.
But the rest of the rear end is original at 475,000 miles. I figure on taking it apart with a rebuild kit and extra parts that can be returned for a refund if not needed.
I understand the pre-load and proper meshing of the gears is critical. And this concerns me.
Honestly, I can't begin to ask questions on this subject unless I get a basic understanding of the F7 rear axle assembly. I need to learn on my own first. Any online guide or a book you guys can recommend ?
I tried searching this website and online.
