I pulled the open diff out of the rear of my truck and threw a LS in over the weekend.
The LS was in the truck from the factory but when I got the truck It needed a rearend housing so I just got a junk yard rearend and swapped it in, and tossed the LS and ring and pinion on a shelf.
After getting stuck the otherday, I decided it was time for a LS swap. I decided to just try and swap the carrier and ring gear (same gears as open diff) and when i checked the clearance the lash was good. Now ive got a Whine at about 40 MPH that Sounds exactly like a tire whine. Could this be from running a ring and pinion that came from different used gear sets? Ive done this kind of thing in mud trucks and trail rigs but never on a daily driver.
Should I just throw the other pinion in? Or if is it a posibility that this is due to different wear pattern on the gears? If so will it work itself out?
Thanks
Jim
