what is that NOISE?!
My green ranger did this too, but it went away. When i stop and force the throttle to the floor and turn, the inside rear wheel screeches, but it doesn't just go screeeeeeeeeeech and then we're off and running, It goes more like scre scre scre scre then we're off. It's really weird. No grinding, just hte noise pattern the tire makes is kinda funky. May sound dumb, but is it bad to do that? Also, what all is being worn if you put it in park and you are still rolling? Was in a hurry today and was rolling maybe 2mph and thoguht i was stopped and jammed 'er in park. OOPS...Stopped quick. No damage i hope.....

I don't think it will hurt anything...probably no worse than a single screech. Must be an auto thing...grabs pavement, gets more power, loses traction, grabs pavement, gets more power, loses traction, etc.
I've done the park while still slightly moving before. I don't think going that slow it'll hurt anything. I wouldn't reccommend it, avoid it if at all possible, but you're not talking tranny-devastating damage.

More than likely no damage to the parking prawl in the back of the tranny. They're a pretty good sized piece of steel. Just don't do it every day. Did it click a few times and then grab, or just flat out grab?

Just grabbed...In fact i had to get out and make sure i didn't knock into the pole in front of me. I don't and wouldn't make a habit of a rolling park. I saw someone in a minivan shove it in park while going 10 mph or so and it made a ratcheting noise then screeched. Minivan driver got out unaware anything happened.... Read up a bit on L/S differentials and found out the reason why the green ranger doesn't do that grab thing is because I may have worn out the limited slip clutch packs or something. I dont' see how that is any diferent than off-roading and having one wheel slip and the other one gripping. I am pretty sure Ford tests these trucks and abuses them more than any of us could.....I hope at least...:/

i have a 86 ranger with l/s 3.73 rear and when turning or corning the tires chirp, bc the rear wants to turn both tires at the same time but the physics prevent that from happening so it forces the clutch to open and the rear is free but the clutch is putting alot of pressure on the axle and can still engange posi and thus chirping tires. just be glad you dont have a mini or full spool back there. or you would have slicks on the rear in no time.

It could be the l/s, but eventually, it stresses the driveline. Wheel hop tends to be rough on u-joints. Found that out the hard way in my old 77 F100. Both u-joints the first time, and the rear u-joint the second time.

I've only done it a few times, do few i could probably name off the situations surrounding them. doubtful that did any damage....I will be more careful though.... Is there a way to adjust the L/S clutches so it stops that grabbing? Not really wheel hop. I've had wheel hop trying to get a really heavy load going....that's obviously hard on the drivetrain....
