are after market gears noisier than stock?
I just upgraded my D35 to a C8.25 with trac-loc and 4:10 precision gears.
No wine when under load, but a little when coasting, and more at slower speeds and coasting,
also, when the axle was out I noticed it was harder to turn the pinion by hand than the stock axel, it takes about .5 -1 ft lbs to get it truning, but you could turn the old axle with your baby finger.
anyhow, the amount of noise is not bad, easily drowned out by A/T tires or the radio.
