Default Clicking noise from rear diff

My rear diff was leaking so i fixed that, and man that oil was DONE!! anyways, right after i re-sealed it and put in new fluid theres a low speed clicking noise, i cant figure out if it was there before or if its normal or if the oil change made a old problem more noticable. anyone have this problem?

Hmm wonder if it had a limited slip rear end? If so then you also need a trac lock additive..

Is the clicking for sure coming from insdie the diff or could it be at the wheels? Might want to jack the diff up and turn the wheels to see where for sure the clicking is coming from...

Now if you do not have the positrack rear end and add that additive that could also possibly cause issues.

Other then maybe a gear slipping or another part lose or something inside the pumpkn I can't think of much else..

Me I'd take the cover off drain the oil and then with it jacked up have someone turn the wheels and watch it and see if you can pin point it visually.

While you have it open then you can visually check for a LSD or a lunchbox locker.
