I have a friend in parts here at Taylor that says I wouldn't believe what parts they usually commonly have that are on back order... For instance don't try to just find air filter for an F-150 lol ....
Thanks to COVID-19, the supply chain is 100% disrupted and still not back to normal.
this seems to be true of most things. Shipping went backwards 30 years
because of Covid as well.

How badly do you need the filter? I should have one somewhere that I won’t be using until spring

After parking the GT I was doing something in the garage and dropped a bolt which went under the rear of the car. So with my trusty flashlight I went looking and found the bolt. I also found a small patch of fresh oil under the rear differential. Upon further investigation it was determined that my gasket is leaking. It has been about 6 years since my 4:10 change so I was planning on doing this spring anyway. So last week I drained it. New gear oil, friction modifier and gasket maker has Been purchased. Will be takling this job this weekend.

Nice Ford blue silicone
Permatex® Ultra Blue® No-Leak RTV Silicone Gasket cures on exposure to moisture in the air. The product dries tack free in two hours and fully cures in 24.
Best to wait at least the 2 hours before adding the oil.

Yes I agree. Might as well do this now. Everything is sealed back up and going to let it sit until tomorrow and then fill and check for leaks.Looking good, great job on a cool Saturday
Better a winter project, than a summer interruption.

While you are there take the breather out and clean it/ make sure it if free - Pressure build up when oil heats up actually causes most of the rear axle leaks - cover to housing joint - pinion seal or axle seals. !
Ahhh OK. I did not know that. Will go looking for the breather tomorrow.

Instead of my breather, i now have an Oil Catch Can for the differential oil. If you could sneak under my car now, the right side of the axle is absolutely coated with oil, that's what happen when you shake it in an autocross course lol ?
Next spring i'll get back in touch with my mechanic to schedule the installation of my 3.73 and Watts link, i am sure he'll tell me it was missing half of the oil that should have been in there in the first place lol ? Happy I finally put the oil catch can haha.
