Re: IML: sure grip whine

[sosmi@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I don't think you ever stated, if the noise or whine is with power on, power off, or coast. If it made the same sound before service, it was probably repaired before and not set - up right. In that case the ring and pinion would wear incorrectly, and make noise. If the service done now, simply re-shimed to the old set-up, or possibly correct, the noise will continue. Any adverse whine or noise is tell-tale premature ware. If a used ring&pinion are installed, very careful set-up should be done, or the same problem will exist, since the gears already have a ware pattern set. The standard 2.76-2.94-3.23 should be whisper quiet.
