Hey guys.
Bought an 8.25 (29spline) housing on naxja from a member about 4 years ago, he didn't tell me it had horrible excessive gear whine. (Oh well, it was cheap)
It has USA standard gears, and the pattern last time I checked was fine, (they don't recommend these gears for daily drivers,) and it doesn't produce metal flakes. However, the noise is now unbearable, coasting it is silent, but on throttle and slightly off it is a horrible high pitch whine that resonates though the cab.
Question-
What brand will give me the best bang for the buck, silent operation, and strength? I know that plenty of guys run other gears than yukon without noise. (I'd love to go yukon but they run $342!!)

Yukon of course- http://www.summitracing.com/parts/yga-24005?seid=srese1&gclid=COKg6uLsqbsCFWRk7AodpSYAsw @ $342
Any other suggestions? Superior? Alloy USA? Looking for a good quality 4.56 gear set for the 8.25 which wont make noise. I will have them set up at work. (I will probably do most of the work, supervised by my team leader- I work at a jeep dealership)
Thanks guys.
