Recently got some 4.88 gears and a detroit installed in my rear 44. Gears and locker have about 120 miles on them. I am now hearing a clicking/popping noise coming from the rear when turning and even at slower speeds when decelerating. The noise is like a clicking, about every second or so.
Whats odd is that this seems to be the first time I have heard the noise. During the first 100 miles I took it pretty easy for gear break-in and did not go over about 50 mph. Still am taking it easy but the last 20 miles I put on it were tonight and it included some speeds of about 60 mph...
I just jacked up the axle, put it in neutral and the detroit seems to still lock just by spinning it by hand. One thing that I did notice when doing this is a "whinning" noise as I start to spin it by hand.
Are these the normal noises from the Detroit? I had thought that they usually only making the loud "thunk" noise once in a while and other then that should be pretty quiet. What do ya guys think?
