    Hey Ron, if I get gear whine only when I am decelerating does that mean the pinion nut needs to be tightened a bit more? It isn't a bad whine, and a local differential guy said that's all it will need. Just want to make sure so I don't have to pull it out and put in another crush sleeve.
    Hi, yes, a whine on deceleration is an indication the pinion preload is not correct. You can try to put a little more on the nut, but it is tricky to get it right without pulling it apart. There will be no way to measure the preload.

    Thanks, Ron

    I'll find a new sleeve just in case and then tighten bit by bit. Hopefully I won't have to pull it all apart again. Thanks again for the really fast shipping Ron. I was so mad when I thought I would miss the race.
