I have 4.10's from Richmond in my rear right now. the whine is driving me nuts. is there any way i can get rid of it? it is a 2 series 10 bolt. thanks.

Try some thicker oil (85w-140) or Lucas Gear oil. It worked for me. Didn't get rid of it completely but it did quiet it down a bit.

A fresh set of gears and proper install are the only fix. Once gears start to whine they'll ALWAYS whine.

Coast or drive whine?

accelearting and steady speed. nothing on deceleration.

If they always whined they were set up too deep most likely, or could just be bad gears. If they have any kinda of miles on them they will not be quiet. If they started whining after hard launches then you probably have a few bent teeth, which is pretty common.

Were they given a proper break-in? Not allowing them to break-in properly will also lead to gear whine.

mzoomora--Could the fact that it's a 2-series carrier with the thick gears have anything to do with it?

I've heard that brand whines more than the gears GM uses. Also may not have been set up right. What was the backlash (spec is .005-.009), and did the pattern look good?

Richmond gears whine. I had a set in my 92 camaro. They will quite down a little after you break them in.

I havent ever really noticed thick gears whining more than others. I have noticed Richmond gears whining more though, but not all of them- only some part numbers.

i'll tell you what baddogz28, i'll run you heads up. i'll stay on street tires, you can be on a drag radial. and i'll give you the hit for $500. sound good?

Unfortunately, your 4.10 puts me at a significant disadvantage out of the hole, considering that we were neck and neck out of that tollbooth with you on street tires and 2.73's.

Spot me a couple cars and take a 0 off of that $500 and we're in business. I gotta pay rent, man!

Not to mention:
