Rear end chatter in reverse
Ok, I've seen a post or two about this issue of rear end chatter on the super duty But not that many so I am going to ask a question here and now......what causes/allows this to happen and what purpose does it serve? also does it cause any damage to the gear head? or any other part of the rear end?
My truck tends to do this from time to time when I am plowing snow (only when backing up, or at least so far) and I really can't relate it to any one condition other than maybe the fact that pushing snow may cause the gear oil to get hotter than normal driving and thins out and causes this????? anyway, thanks for any input

I can't offer any assistance for the ford. But jeep rear end differentials always had this noise. The differentials needed friction modifier added when the gear oil was changed out. Maybe that helps?
(That was if it was a trac lock diff though, LSD)
