Default Turning noise

I know this is not a transmission issue but a 94 10bolt 8.5 issue but was afraid would have to wait a month to get a reply.

anyways did you fluid change on my diff and swapped gaskets, filled it with 75-90 fluid and now I get a howling/humming when I turn both directions. What could this be? It was making any noises before the maintenance.

As said, add in some AC Delco additive. Amsoil and Redline also make a really good slip additive.

Did you use Synthetic or regular?

I believe it was a synthetic not 100%. It was valvoline and it came in this new style easy squeeze container.

I believe those Valvoline containers are all synthetic but I'm only like 90% sure


Your auburn rear calls for conventional oil, not synthetic. Not using conventional can cause performance issues in the diff.

Several guys have noted noises and other issues after using synthetic. Worth a shot...
