Ok, so I am not a rocket scientist when it comes to diffs/gearing.
I have never run Detroits before now. Put a detroit in the rear and a tru-trac in the front. This truck has ALWAYS had a whine, No matter what the tolerances in either or any of the 3 diffs (center included).
Now I know about the clanking of a detroit, (experienced that when I first put it in, now quiet) but now after about 1200 miles of highway and trails I am getting a whine like a pinion noise off throttle that appears to be coming from the rear. The pinion was NOT touched during set up. (drop in diff style for you non rover guys)
I know that detroits inherently have some slop, but that shouldn't affect the pinion right?
TIA
