READ THIS BEFORE POSTING

This is for people who actually own a Strange S60. If you do not own one I really don't want to know what you think about these rear ends. You have no experience with these rear ends and I would like to speak with someone who has one in their car and see what they think about it.

Now with that out of the way. Come on guys. What do you think of your Strange S60?

I don't really know, a whole lot about them, but i do have one in the car, but it only has like maybe 20 miles on it. The gears are whining a little bit right now, but that might be because i haven't set the pinion angle yet, and its still like brand new, but it looks huge compared to the 10 bolt and it should get the job done. Only downfall it is heavy.

No specific instructions from strange, i have a umi trr arm but i usually set mine at negative 2.5 to 3 for best traction, but i think your suppose to set it at zero.

I didn't vote because I don't have one but after reading GM High Tech it looks a hell of a lot easyer to put in a Dana 60 than a focking 9''!

Pinion angle has no affect on gear whine. Unfortunately, there is no easy remedy.

The install is a direct bolt in. I had to modify my UMI TA (to clear the webbing/gussets on top of the diff) .. need a die-drinder for that. No tunnel clearance issues. My gears do whine between 40 and 50mph .. dead silent otherwise. Strange as sent a new set (no hassle) but I haven't had time to have them put in (motor blew). So far, I can't think of a bad thing to say about the rear. .. but most importantly, there's isn't a FORD anything on or under my car
