They are scheduled to be back in stock later in March. For those that are desperate, the OE part number for the plate is: L1MZ-78001A08-D. Probably can be found through any Ford dealership but will be more expensive than the FP kit.

There’s also an OE part number on the plate: L1MZ-78001A08-D. Another option is to just purchase it (and the hardware) through a local dealer. Will be more expensive than this kit, but beggars can’t be choosers.

Any suspension component that flexes and twists will crack away the powder coating and rust. My Steeda bar was wasted after two years, but my OE springs and front sway bar look perfect after four years and 40,000 miles in MI & OH. The PIU rear bar will probably hold up just as well. Ford used to...

A bigger intercooler is a no-brainer. They are all good (Steeda in mine). I have a Gearhead AO tune and tow my boat often - zero issues. Many tuners want you to have a separate Tow tune and/or don’t recommend using their tune(s). The PIU larger rear sway bar and matching shocks, along with the...

They are still shipping. My order from October arrived a couple weeks ago. Getting mad and cancelling means you get nothing.

If only Ford put this stuff in their literature.

That’s what I’ve been saying all along. Not worth the effort to pull the gears when the carrier will most likely be plug-and-play.

The Aviator and ST diff’s are the same. No brainer.

As far as I can tell, the same ‘non-coated’ axles have matching part numbers between the Timberline, ST, and Aviator: L1MZ-4K138-C and L1MZ-4K139-C Then again, Ford has known to be wrong before. If common sense came in to play, I’d like to assume all the inner and outer splines are the same...

In the brochure…

It’s not going to be a Torsen. It will be the same Aviator/ST diff. There are a lot of them on eBay for just a few hundred dollars. Just because the housing is the same, doesn’t mean the internals are. This will help:

Now search the S606B differential, which is on the tag. The same ENGINEERING number will come up for both the Aviator and ST. Same part numbers I already posted.

There are several variations with the 3.58 gears using the 8.8“ differential. Again, that tag is an engineering number, not a part number. The part number for the ST/Aviator entire carrier is L1MZ-4000-D (to the best of my recollection), whereas it’s M1MZ-4000-TB for the Timberline. I looked...

Would be cool if it’s true, but that isn’t a part number, it’s an engineering number on the housing. It only means the case is the same. The Timberline carrier assembly part number is listed a few posts up and it only cross-references to the 2.3 model. If you look in through the axle shaft...

Read Post #20.

Couldn’t care less, but it’s a bummer that shipping hurts. My post showing the screen shots was for the benefit of anyone thinking the prices had actually gone up on those items, which they haven’t. If others need them and aren’t in a hurry, the “normal” costs are still reasonable.

So the prices didn’t really go up. You just got raped on shipping. Read the thread. It’s in Post #2.

The prices really didn’t go up - unless you suck at searching and pay full retail. Any dealership that sells parts online isn’t going to bend you over on these. It’s why places like Tasca, Tousley, Levittown, etc. advertise on forums. Gotta’ put in some effort as a buyer though unless you prefer...

You have to look at the spring codes on your VIN label. Mine matched with one variation of the PIU springs which leads me to believe they share them with the ST.

The OE bushings might be bonded - so it would take a ton of drilling and burning to remove them. If they are pressed-in - it would be a total nightmare getting the entire subframe manipulated to use some sort fixture to push them out. I did the job on the IRS in my ‘03 Cobra, and it was spread...
