My credo
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
Oh I'm not worried about it for my truck. Already has 8.8, and survived a lot more abuse than the factory would have recommended it for, believe me. Was just curious why the mustang guys thought the 7.5 trak-lock was so much better than the open 7.5 diff. Didn't make sense to me when I read that on their forums, thought maybe there was some logical reason. Figured you guys would know.

Maybe all just imaginary.....
It's a Mustang people thing. You really don't want to get involved with that.

Nope..... that's why the question is here ;)

I did own a convertible GT in the 90s, bought it for the wife, not quite sure which was the bigger mistake.... both thankfully gone now LOL

My credo
I poop in the furnace.
My mom had a 96 cobra. I'm still furious she traded that car in instead of letting me buy it... She had to get rid of it cause she had knee problems and couldn't drive a manual anymore. She traded it for a effing trailblazer and the dealer ripped her off hard. I still love the SN-95 cars.
