98 t/a I went on vacation last weekend,put 1500 miles on my 98 t/a. First 1100 went great,the last 400 not so good the rearend started making noise. I was told by a buddy of mine he thinks it is the pinion bearings. My car has 48000 miles on the stock rearend. If anyone has had this problem any help on this would be great!

Re: 98 t/a Have you had the pinion seal changed recently?
When I had mine changed, it didn't take any 1000 miles for it to begin whaling.
Apparantly (to me at least), the mechanic over-torqued the pinion nut and changed the bearing pre-load.
$800 later ....
I could have gotten out for a LOT less, but I went from an Auburn to a Torsen and changed gear ratios. I quickly went back to 3.42s from 4.10s, though.
