I'm not positive on the brand of gears, I bought them second hand from Dave Nay, I believe they were either superior or precision, but I don't honestly recall.
IIRC, Dave complained that they were noisy for him as well. One of the reasons he replaced the 8.25.

This is true, however Dave has a reputation for being very particular about noises in his rig. I can deal with a little bit of gear whine. This is NOT a little bit of gear whine. I'm running BFG ATs at the moment, and I still have to have my radio to at least half volume to hear it(point about the tires is I'm not trying to drown out tire noise as well). Thanks
BTW, I don't feel like I got shorted by Dave at all, he warned me that they would be noisy and the noise level they produced when I picked the truck up was acceptable, but it has gotten much worse since then.
