Just curious to hear what your experiences have been.
No sound coming from mine, even right after install. The diff will be warm to the touch, that is why we also replaced with the 08 alum finned cover, to help a little with the heat plus it looks nicer than the rusty old one.

Do you just trash my 3.73 and purchase a 4.30 true track and call it done, or do you need other 4.30 gear parts to work with the true trac?
As I recall the true trac doesn't change the gear ratio. The ring gear that you have is put back onto the true trac. I don't believe that fords axle has difference in the app, unlike others that will have different part #'s for diff gear ratios.

I think it's 4.10 and down and 4.56 and up actually, with the D60 front diff. I might have that wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's that way in at least the D60.
