I had used 4.10's installed a while back, and two passes down the track... and they whine more than a french guy in a cheese factory.

Any secret potion to cure my problem, or am I gonna have to pay to play? I don't go to the track often anymore.

 

Try getting a louder exhust. It worked for me <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

 

A temporary and cheap fix is to run a real thick weight gear oil, it will quiet them down some. Or a loud exhaust, it fixes ALOT of problems. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> Good luck, Shawn

Some information for you to help you find out what is going on.

 

Redline 80W140 w/GL5 is what I've used for a long time.

60K miles
2 AX seasons
1000 miles on a road course ...

No problem

 

You might think I'm kidding but it is said that a little sawdust helps to hush the fuss.

(I haven't tried this and don't know if I would!)

I have heard of saw dust being used to fix everything from a loud rear end, to transmission slipping to low oil pressure. I heard it was an old trick that used car dealers would use to get rid of cars with problems.. althoguh it reduced the life of the component dramaticaly

Colonel, that has to be the most insane tech advice I've ever read ... :shakeshead:

 

I thought I read some post about redline having a super heavey something like 90/240 weight of gear oil..and thought he said that helped a lot.
I had zero luck quieting my richmond 3.73..tried everything,dynamatted rear of car like three layers in places..tried the heavier amsoil think it was 80/140 or so..no help ,even took off my hotchkis lower control arms and panhard and sold my random tech torque arm thinking that stuff was transmitting the noise.I finally just got rid of the richmonds and went back to the 3.42's until I get a 12 bolt.Maybe try that real heavy redline.

...But, I do know of those who have.

 

Royal purple 85-140. Worked for me.

 

I'd look into the Ratech solid collar, I think what is happening is that your backlash is opening up.

I run 85/140 with my 9"/4.10 and it helps a bit.

 

Redline Shockproof heavy formulation. (80W250)

 

Colonel, I did not take your comment as "advice" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I will try out those gear lubes to see if it helps any.

Thanks!!

So many questions remain like:
what brand is best (e.g., Is Georgia Pacific worth the extra $$$)?
what wood works best (Is it true that Pine doesn't last and that Apple gives off a funny oder after 5,000 miles)?
should I pressure treat my saw dust or use an additive like Thompson's water seal?

This is a tech forum, buddy; no half-assed answers or I'll give you the boot. <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" />

Geeez we need to label this Colonel guy a TROLL. <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />

 

HEY COL!

We only use sawdust on cars we trade in!!! ROWR!

I usually use Pine. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

 

Hey guys , let's not go against the grain here. Everyone knows there is always a way to spruce up a diff. Maple I can answer this once and for all. Cedars a way to do this, ash long ash you fine grind the pine to get rid of the whine..
