Fluid change pics...Help.
Alright, I need help. My rear was howling when I had 2.73s and I brought it in. I got a new 3.73 AAM ring and pinion, new bearings, and auburn posi unit. The rear still howls and whirs the exact same from about 20 mph and up. It is mostly loud on the accell and decell. I can't bring it back to the shop that did the gears cause i moved 800 miles the day after i got the car back. I decided to do a fluid change and take a peak. the fluid was silver, not a great sign since i have only put 1500 miles on these gears. You can see the metal filings on the magnet. I dont know much about gear wear patterns, so i need some expert opinions. I put in Lucas non-sinthetic 80W90 and GM anti-slip in it and it still makes the same noise. What is goin on?????
Also, the last pic is of where my drive shaft meets the trans. Does everything look normal???

car doesnt vibrate, just a whirring noise that turns into a howl at high speed. the noise sounds exactly as it did with the old gears though, and its definatly coming from the back of the car.

FWIW they probably used the same shims that the rear came in with when they set it up (pretty common practice), whoever built it needs to do it again, and this time they need to run all the measurements, and change shims, and get it right, a properly set up rear end shouldn't howl like a banshee
