I bought a used 10 bolt recently rebuilt with 4.10s - relatively low miles (7000). The PO said it was in perfect shape. I opened it up and the gear pattern looks perfect and everything seemed to be in perfect condition. I installed it after changing diff fluid. I drove it home and had a considerable whine especially in 6th gear at cruising speed. The PO had been running Royal Purple diff oil and I replaced with Synthetic Valvoline 75w90. I know there is a chance that its just the way the rear was setup but the PO claimed it was perfect shape and seemed to be a reputable seller. I was wondering if changing to a different diff oil would possibly make a difference. I just installed it last night and drove it home and everything seemed to work fine other than the whine. Anybody have ideas on what might cause the problem? I'm going to drive it more and try it out more and see what I can come up with but I was thinking that the different diff oil might cause the problem. I appreciate any help
