What kind of noise?

Grinding?

Whining?

On accel or decel or both?

Most rear noise is improper ring/pinion lash, or an issue with carrier bearings.

I guess the whinning is really loud since you have to yell out what you are writing.

Whining is more noticable when gears are a striaghter cut (angle of the gear teeth) then stock gears. The straighter cut makes them stronger, but noisier.

How noisey, or "normal" your is depends on the extent of noise.

So do 4.10's on mega cabs whine as you drive them off the lot?

4.10 to 1 gears should be quiet off the lot. In my personal experience anything steeper than 4.30 tend to whine a bit for the reasons stated above. most gears in the 4.30 and up range are strait cut, some super heavy duty trannys have strait cut gears and tend to whine also. Listen to a NASCAR sometime.

The 4.30:1's in my Demon whine a bit when not accellerating, but the wear patern on them is perfect.
