Default Rear End noise

Jody ---

While at the "big boys toy store" (AKA Summit Racing personal line showroom)... My Brother in Law and I blabbed with the EATON guys.... as Rudy (BIL) has a clunking sound in his Camaro ----- SO GET THIS ----- this guy says DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES RUN SYNTHETIC GEAR OILS!!! They apparently are TOO SLIPPERY!!

He isn't selling anything.... so has no axe to grind. He swears up and down - don't do the synthetic gear lubes - they've seen nothing but problems with them.

As it turns out - Rudy - thinking he was doing "good" - had switched to synthetics -- and then the noises started. DOH.
