So tonight I was backing in my driveway and goosed the throttle a bit and heard a pretty awful chatter for a split second.
I could not tell if it was from the tranny or the rear end. I put it in drive and goosed the throttle and it didn't do it.
It is zero degrees tonight in WI. I also have a Truetrac in the rear.
I've gunned it before in reverse and never heard that chatter before.
I think tomorrow I'll inspect the rear diff fluid to make sure it is full. The fluid was changed with regular gear oil (what Eaton recommends) about 6 months ago when I swapped it in and to my knowledge, I have zero leaks.
Truck makes no other noises and drives great. When I installed the 3rd member with the truetrac (pulled from my 99 donor vehicle) everything looked brand spanking new. I couldn't believe how well the ring and pinion gears were.
Not sure if the sound could have came from the tranny?
In the mean time, I'll take it easy.
