Default Dana 60 whine on decel...anything to worry about?

Just like the title states. Slight whine on decel, not super loud but enough to know its there. I just got done breaking it in, havent changed the fluid yet, but it did it on the first drive on the first decel so I know its nothing I did or didnt do. Is there anything to worry about? I dont mind the noise as long as I know its not hurting anything.

I get the same with mine. I am not worried at all. I am sure if I put something better than the Lucas oil in it will be much better.

When did it go away? After break in, during break in? After you changed the oil?

Well as long as I dont have to worry about something breaking or something. I dont mind the noise at all, its not very loud but enough to notice....What oil are you going to use?
