O.K ,,,here I go again,,what is the need for this,really.it says,,,,,these rear axle reservoirs were only installed as a orgiginal equipment for the 2008-09 Shelby GT 500KR's ,,They are used to prevent rear axle oil burping which occurs under road racing,,price is $ 129.99 at the ShelbyStore.com,,,,,,



,,,

 

I found that hard launches at the track were causing oil to come out of the rear axle vent. It was covered back there. That is a better looking solution than mine - I simply took the vent cap apart and used a hose to extend the length of the vent up and zip tied it to a frame rail. No more oil spray now.

 

,,I got one from Shelby ,(the GT500KR one ),had it painted today ,I will try and post some pictures in a few days ,Frank s is going to like this one ,alittle inside joke .

 

Let me guess ... It has a yellow Lucifer on it?

FTB (inside, very little joke)

 

No ,but close,FTB back at you.

 

here are a few pictures

 

 

I just installed mine last week, no more peeing from the vent

 

In looking at the directions, it calls for the removal of the mufflers and over the axle exhaust tubes. Is that really necessary?

 

NO,I got mine on without removing anything,just take your time ,you will see a way in without removing anything,

 

Ug, somthing elso to spend my kids money on...........

 

No need to mess with the exhaust it installs nicely just takes a few creative angles, then bolt it in.

 

FYI, for those who want to fix this without going the Shelby Kit way, TSB 10-3-7 has a solution:

Ford Part # AR3Z4A058B, here's a pic:


I got one from Bowen-Scarff Ford for $37 shipped.

 

Thats does seem like a much more cost effective solution, especially since this part will never be seen once installed. But since I found my Shelby kit NIB for $75 shipped, it was much easier on the wallet

 

Is that a source you can share? I plan to order one.

 

Got the Shelby tank on my GT, works great. Just wish it didn't cost so much. Better than puking diff fluid onto my race tires, though.

 

Found it in the classifieds on Team Shelby

 

Quick question... Does the one tank fitting that came without a hose have anything connected to it??

 

not sure what you mean ,are you talking about the Shelby tank,

 

Yes.

One side came with a hose attached and the other side has nothing on it (the fitting in the right of your picture). And in looking at the instructions they never mention doing anything to other fitting.
