[QUOTE="buckinwild, post: 10125304, member: 29417"] Goes without saying at this point doesn't sound like your gear was installed correctly. My opinion is irrelavent but sounds like pinion is shimmed to deep from the condition you describe. Just from my experiences granted I don't know all about gear installs but shimmed to shallow usually howls on coasting and shimmed deep howls under throttle. Backlash is most likely off as well. Good luck with it, I've been there and done that before. I don't trust no one around here to install a gear now. I'll do my own when it comes time to put in the 4.10's. I did the 3.73 in my 02 gt and come to find out it was shallow shimmed to .024, it probably should have been .030 and backlash was tight at .004 where .008-.012 is target numbers if I remember correctly. It had a slight..slight howl on coasting (couldn't hear with windows down and wind noise present) but never had any problems with it aside from that and drove it for more than a year and 15K miles.
