[Fot] Dif. noise

[Robert Lang]

 CHECK IT BEFORE YOU DESTROY IT. 

Whining is because the gears aren't meshing properly. This will result in premature wear if you're lucky. If you are not lucky, you'll overheat the diff and / or otherwise destroy it. Sometimes the noise can be from something really dumb, like the ring gear bolts backing out and you find out when one of the bolts wedge in the diff case with the resulting damage to everything. Not that I've done that or anything.

And keep in mind that scrap steel prices are "fairly low".

 Hi All.  I am hearing some whining going on behind me when driving my 68 GT6.. It is only at neutral acceleration/deceleration and above 40 MPH ( There is no whine when accelerating or decelerating).   Stock 3.27:1 rear end.                                                           Any thoughts ?                                  Thanks Pat_______________________________________________
