low pitch wine on new ford 8.8
so i just finished everything on the install on my ford 8.8, aussie locker, 4.88 yukons, after driving it around the block it started to create a low pitch wine over 10mph-30mph (i didn't go over 30mph), put i could only hear this wine while i was pressing on the gas, if i let the peddle go the noise went away.. NOW i did notice when i installed the ford 8.8 yoke on the drive-shaft, that 1 of the stick bearings from the u-joint came out.. at the time i didn't think anything of it, but now i'm thinking that's the problem. I'm gonna be changing out the u-joint tomorrow but just in case that's not the problem what would you think it is?? maybe a bad outer bearing?? i didn't change them when i installed the axle because they seemed fine.

Lockers generally don't need special lubrication however most hypoid oils can be used in either limited slips or lockers.

Yes. They need oil with a friction modifier. called hypoid. Without it there won't be anything limited about their slip :-) I made a funny :-)

exactly, the additive allows them to slip and grab more efficiently, so you don't get bucking and pre-mature wear. and i have the detroit tru trac and use just regular gear oil due to there is no clutches in it.
