Noisy new gears on slowdown/coast
#12
I had read, many years ago, that if not corrected within some period of time, a wear pattern would develop on the gear teeth and even if set correctly after that point the gears would still be noisy. FWIW.

I had no idea it could be determined to that extent; thanks for the info

Well I found out what I got.... they came from qualitygear... also I brought it back to him and he said the wear pattern was fine and there was no peices in the fluid
It still has whine on decel. But it seems to be slowly fading it is most pevalant coming off the interstate.
Should I get a 2nd opinion? ??

In fact, you could measure it yourself assuming there is an inspection cover that can be removed (to be honest I dunno what's back there and I'm not at home to look). You'll need a dial indicator and a magnetic base, that's it. And you'll need to find what the backlash spec is, which should be in a factory service manual (maybe a Chilton or similar version as well). The procedure should be illustrated therein.

4.10 gears is what I have on my truck
UPDATE:
so here we are probrably 6000 miles later, none of the sounds have really changed at all.
The only new thing is now sometimes I put it in reverse and I hear a pop noise... rolllback what I need, then as I start to roll forward, I hear a pop again.
I am going to check the U-Joints when I get home today.
Once I get my new hubbearings on next week (to quiet the truck down) then I am going to bring it to the guy and have him drive it for a day and check it all out.

Someone on here (sorry I forget who) recently did a great write up about greasing the splines on the drive shaft and how it resolved symptoms which, if I remember correct, involved the sounds we are hearing. I also notice I don't get the popping sound as much when the truck is loaded.
Edit: The post I mention was by erau titled "**Attention anyone experiencing a "bump" or "jolt" just before or after a stop**" Just happened to appear below this thread when I submitted it.
