rearend growl
I have just under 150,000 miles on my 2006 pony pkg. auto trans
I've had a tuner on it for all it's life,
I recently had it to the shop to figure out the recent growl that was in the rear end,
As it turns out the whole rear end needs rebuilding ! bad wear on ring & pinion
I was wondering if any body else has been down this road ?
I'm thinking the added pressure of the tune brought this on.
It will pretty easily brake the tires loose with a limited slip.

Tune does not add any huge stress on the rear end, maybe just a little from the firmer shifts . . . the 150K miles seems like the obvious culprit to me too

Most definitely steep for just a bearing LOL. It cost me $1580 for the entire ring and pinion gear swap, including new shim & bearing kit, spider gears and clutches. That was my total cost for parts and labor at my local Ford dealership. Anyhow, just saying
