from 3.55 to 4.10
from 3.55 to 4.10
97 4x4 f-150 4.6
yesterday i did a 3.55 to 4.10 gear swap and put a ls locker in the front.
today i take it for a ride and everything is fine. except for when i let off the gas and coast to a stop there is humming from the rear. kinda like tire noise but out of my 315 i have no noise previously. here is a list of what i did swap out in the rear end.
pionion bearings
shims
seal
crush sleeve
pionion nut
i left the diff bearings . and outter wheel bearings as those were is good shape
i did notice that there is a gear for the speed sensor in the rear but as anyone with a 97 or 98 knows the speed sensor is in the back of the transfercase. should i have taken it our?
it also makes the humming noise when i turn to the right while decelerating.
is something loose in there?
did i really just not put enough lube in there? i put about 3 and 1/2 and the friction modifier. 2 oz. per quart
please help.
p.s. 4.10 is not what i though it would be! note to anyone wanting to just go to 4.10 dont!!!!!!!!! u wont be happy i should of gone 4.56!

in regards to that ^^^^^^^ i was simply meaning that if you are trying to decide between 4.10 and 4.56 thats all. like you said 77MUD, just because i didn't like doesnt mean someone else wouldnt.
but gear wine what do u mean by that ? gear set too tight? not tight enough?
oh and i put new clutches in the housing as well.
