We have sold a lot of rearends. Strange and Currie, and Rons Rear ends, we have seen issues with Strange and Currie none with Rons, the biggest issue we have seen is with 3:73 gears.
Currie suggests 80-140 GL5 gear oil
Here is the deal, My Nova, My Camaro, both have run synthetic since day 1, neither got the "Proper break in" and NEITHER make a sound. I know that only confuses the issue.
We did one and it sounded like you were dragging a cat behind you, yes the MFG said send it back, and yes they changes the gears to 3:89's (from 3:73)but I too am with everyone else, why should the Customer(or shop) have to cover all the costs? the second set was only a bit better. now what???
HOW is it that the OEM's can do THOUSANDS of gears a DAY and not have one that makes noise, and the aftermarket we are just to put up with it.???Oh yea you have the option of spending another 300 to have them micro polished still there is no Guarantee they will not be quiet....... Why NOT?
Riddle me that?
