Just wanted to give an update on the grinding noise we have been hearing. With the excellent help of our local Ford dealer and Ford of Canada, we think we have found the source of the problem but not the fix - as of yet.

Some suggested putting an additive in the differential. Ford experts said this would not make any difference and they did a check to see if by chance we had "limited slip" and we do not.
We did find that by driving in tight circles - 2 wheels nearly off the ground - that the noise can be duplicated and techs can hear what the problem is. So, we are making progress!
