First off, int the diff the screw that holds the shaft in between the spider gears, broke and let the shaft fall out and hit the pinion gear while I was driving. I fixed that now there is a grinding noise from the rearend while I am on the gas. It sounds like a brake drum on a lathe. It does do it all the time. I am lost on ideas as to the problem. Any ideas?

 

if i were you, id replace the whole carrier. is it a G80?

 

No it is a GU6. 3:42 non-Locking. Replacing it is not financially possible at this time. I would like to fix what is wrong until I have the money to replace it all and put in the gears i want and a truetrac.

 

i understand, i would just hate to see this happen to you....

 

boy does that look familiar

 

 

Yeah I hope it does not end up like that. I am pretty sure it is the pinion bearing that is making noise. Hope it last til I have the money...

 

Mine is making the same noise. Its like a howling noise and is louder when you first give and let off throttle. I am sure it is the pinion bearing and have been qouted near 600 to have it fixed.

 

I came to the same conclusion. I am going to see how long she holds and then put in the TruTrac and some 4:10's.
