Really loud whine: is it my 5speed or my rear end?

Well, the pinion bearing (smaller one) had some serious metal lifting off the inner race. They replaced all the bearing.

I used my preditor to change the axel ratio and I was off. Too bad it was raining. So far I'm really enjoying the 4:10's. I deffinately need to change driving habits, used to set up for passing in 3rd, now it's 3rd or 4th.. We'll see.

I am not surpirsed as you can tell from my earlier posts to this topic. just the way you described the noise screamed pinion bearings to me.
