Well I just had yukon 4.56 gears installed in my Dana 30 and I'm getting what I think is some slight gear whine. It only happens at speeds below 15 miles an hour most audible when I'm decelerating/coming to a stop. Can hear it on accleration a little bit. Its not that loud though, the windows have to be up radio off to hear it. Anyway I'm thinking this is being caused by a tight preload. When I got it back the guy who set them up told me he set them at 18in/lbs which was a little heavy but he didnt expect any problems. the yukon booklet calls for 10-15 in/lbs but i guess they wouldn't set up well in that range so he set them at 18 in/lbs and called it good. Am I going to have any harsh affects from this over time or is it ok? I would hate to ruin brand new gears but if its just going to make a little noise and not hurt a thing i don't really care. My jeep has plenty of noises.
