Right! It's Jeff. I got confused. Ya it was never painted so it's got rust red as the base coatOriginally Posted by Nsty04SVT
Nope it's Jeff...Thought they painted them but that stuff was installed back in June of 2011 so can't remember?
Here's a pic of her back in the day
She's still good. Needed lots of work over the near 2 years I've had her. She's coming along.

Awesome glad she's holding together...the only issue I remember I had when I owned it was 1 injector had to be replaced besides that she was mint.

Cool.
So far I replaced the oil pan, spark plugs (one was fouled and broke apart Inside - Rick used his magic powers to take it out), new front breaks because the others were siezed, dual friction centreforce clutch, remachined flywheel, oem clutch cable, quadrant, firewall adjuster, caster camber plates.. Now I'm looking into a rear rebuild with 373s and an aluminum drive shaft.

I am having a very similar rear end noise.....very noticeable under light load on my 96 GT. Rear end is completely stock but only has 105k. Is there a common part that fails?
Seeing lots in with low miles (even half of yours Norm) and smoked bearings. Suspect preload was set too far on the snug side from day one.
Typically the carrier bearings? I was hoping not to have the entire thing taken apart, but that looks like it wont be the case. Might as well do gears when I have it fixed.
Split pretty much even on carrier, pinion or all.
