    Rear diff model?

    Does anyone know to remove rear diff which tools i need. More specific the driveshaft to pinion bolts? Are they 12 point and size? Also the 3 big bolts holding entire assembly to chassis?. Would a carrier with 3.55 gears work on my Ford? I have the 3.73 gears.

    Rear hvac no hot air

    Cool I will unfortunately in about 30min remove actuator and inspect it. I'm also dealing with rear differential noise. Once I hit 55mph I get a winding noise. But when I get off the gas it get quieter. Im pretty sure its pinion bearings

    Rear hvac no hot air

    I think if this was my issue I would be hearing grinding or something?. Where is this actuator located? I think they said in back of hvac. But they do not say how to get to it or remove the entire hvac. Is there a way to get to it without unplugging hoses?

    Rear hvac no hot air

    Hello Yesterday we noticed when I turn on the rear hvac system for 2nd and 3rd row it only blows cold no matter where I place the arrow on heat range. Any idea what might cause this? From videos online it shows expedition and explorer have rear independent blower in trunk area.
