I thought the RDUs were basically the same. With a coupler bolted to about a 7.5 inch differential. Please set me straight!
-
The edits as far as I can tell relate to the RDU in the video, which is the type found in my 2017 Sport, but don't believe its relative to the RDU being discussed in this thread. -
When the "Big Wigs" @ Gm fought bankrupcy a few years ago, one of the "Bean Counters' tried to kill the Corvette line. That was until they found out sales of Corvette parts far outstrip car sales IIRC adding$100 or more million per year PROFIT. Thank you, I have edited the original post for clarity. Did you ever get to stay up for "Route 66"? If I could make it, "Sea Hunt" was on after that.

@garycrist that video shows the RDU type in my 2017 and don't believe it has any bearing on this discussion. I have changed the RDU oil in mine and its regular gear oil which I don't believe will work in the RDU for the model/year Edge discussed in this thread.

So, I'm not sure where your rant was going. BTW, Ford does not sell Corvettes -
Ford sells NEW VEHICLES!!!! They only carry repair parts because of Federal Laws. (except for Corvette) About that differential, of all of the research and watching videos of failures, the front pinion bearing set sucks! Back in the past, who cared about a few sorry tenths of a mile to the gallon to a $3000 repair bill. There are NO CLUTCHES in the rear differential. BTW there are 2, that's right, TWO systems piggybacked together to make it work. The viscous clutch pack w/electro-magnet (prelubed ) bolted to a differential with a haploid gear set, no clutches. Traction control is by brake application on the spinning wheel. (no limited slip) Every time one saw heavy duty applications with premature failure usually a heavier oil did the trick like 75W-140. Towing back then was HD. I think the bearings are overheated and killing the oil. After looking looking at the bearing failure, some bastard engineer got a holiday trip to (fill in the blank) for that bearing set-up. So the B.S. about the clutches requiring some Houdini Magic Snake Oil that comes from a hidden valley with magical oiling powers sound like something a MFG would do. Several of the mfg.s are eating it for their sorry products. Gm on 6.2s just use heavier oil because an engineer said we could skip a final crankshaft polishing. "See how much money we saved and bonuses we earned" said those folks.

I used to custom install radios/stereos. I am also left handed (Lefties are better processing stereo/ music or hear it better). I can tell stories about me testing some theories on my installs. I snicker about all of the speaker replacements as I know most of them are going to go even deafer than they are today as all they worry about VOLUME. I've intentionally cross wired and cross polarized speakers and most will just "turn it up louder"! For a Christmas my sons put a new stereo with all the bell and whistles as a present. When finished, they came to show what they had done. Upon turning the radio on, it sounded like CRAP. Several of the speakers were wired backwards and it was terrible. I asked a few questions and sure enough they learned a few lessons on polarity. After finding the problem and this time noting the wiring diagram, they got it right. I could tell but they really could not. I agree with you @STBEAST these are fairly nice systems. Now about 50 to 100 pounds of insulation/ undercoating that has been removed by the factories for CAFE Standards, if reinstalled would do wonders for sound quality!

I am not sure, but I am guessing the B&O in my 24 ST is the same? Reading up it is a 12-speaker system, including a front center speaker, 2 rear surround speakers (in the ceiling) and a subwoofer in the back. I have it set in 'surround' mode, which makes such a big difference! I listen to music all the time and it seems to be an amazing system.

Two things come to mind: 1. Please use appropriate punctuation. One long sentence is harder to read and decipher what you are asking for than a message properly punctuated. 2. Go back to your tuner and talk to them first before anyone else. You'll get your best answer from them -
There is definitely knowledge here - but I haven't seen many audio enthusiasts pop up yet. I was more into it as a younger person, now I am more about a quality listening experience I can live with. Best of luck.
