Hey guys--
I am getting some decent whining noises from the differential and I need some help diagnosing them. This is an 8" rear with a freshly rebuilt 3.55 traction loc center. Upon acceleration, and when holding at a constant speed, there is a whining/droning noise coming from the differential. This gets louder until about 50mph, and then tapers back down and at about 60mph it is gone. If I "feather" the throttle it will whine, and then back off. Any ideas? I was thinking maybe axle bearing, but those were both just replaced too. There is also a good amound of chatter when turning corners, but I am guess this is because the clutches are not broken in yet. Any ideas on the whining?
Thanks
Dave
