Pewter- 2000 Firehawk #506 A4
ok, so the shop i went to charged me $350 to inspect my diff. they said i needed new axles, bearings, posi, gears (due to chipped teeth) and quoted me at $2300. after shitting myself, i quickly began calling around trying to find a shop to get a second opinion. i found one and they inspected everything for FREE and said i didn't have any chipped teeth or bad bearings and deffinitely no bad axles. they said the pinion depth, preload and backlash needed adjusting. for 2 hours of labor and 2 shims it cost me $169. but since i ran it so long, the wear pattern was set and the whine is still there but not quite as bad and only from 40-45 mph and the vibration is gone at 80mph. so i spent $889 total to upgrade from 2.73's to 3.73's. this shop said they would have installed them for $150 which is less than the "favor" my guy did it for. it's official...i'm retarded.

its set up wrong.
i've had my richmond 3.73's for a few months and just as quite as my original 2.73.
it takes a mechanic that knows what he's doing. had richmonds done by other mechanics and the noise was horrible.white conv, a4, 3.73, jet hot, magnaflow, 20" niche,
0-60 in 5.6 sec, 20+ mpg, torque=top end=:happy

i had it checked and adjusted by another shop and they said the wear pattern had already been set so i'm going to have some noise until i replace the ring and pinion, but it's been months and i haven't had any problems, just a little whine at 40mph, then it goes away.

i went to a general mechanic and it was $300 something, but then I went to a transmission shop and they said $150 if you provide the gears and bearings. They make a big difference.

another thing to add to this post i had a ring and pinion put in that was a GM part along with a auburn pro series posi unit. NOISY as hell maybe this one is set wrong but i believe that it is the posi unit.

Just to add my 2 cents, but when I had my 2.73's replaced with 3.42's it was recommended that I also change the carrier, so I did that at the same time and never had any problems with noise or anything else. My gears were made by EATON. Anyhow, I hope it all works out for you.
