This is Mainly asked towards SS owners but .... This is really bothering me I greased my diffs WELL (all of tube) and they are still really noisy. I was wondering if I should be concerned about this or willl it go away after awhile???


Thanx in advance
 
Ok I guess I put this wrong What is happening is when I push it (hasn't seen a drop of nitro yet) My Ring and pinion are really loud. is there supposed to be amy play in the gears(R&P)??? cause if I remember right there wasn't any...
BTW The diffs come preassembled..

Oh and thanks TRD I will keep that link handy for later...
 
well my diffs were not clanking or anything but they did make a sort of zipper noise of the gears moving. The whole drive train was a little stiff at first but after a few tanks everything seemed to loosen up a bit. I put about 3/4 of the tube of grease and have about a gallon through mine and they havent broke yet.
also no matter how much grease you put in after driving for a while most of it flings off the gears anyway. If you take off the skids after a few tanks you can seee a big ring of grease flung off the ring gear.
 
ok thanx that's exactly what The noise was.. took a lot off my back..
