I suppose the diffs were set up per the manual? I forget what that =
involves, but it=E2=80=99s all in the manual. And you=E2=80=99ve all got =
manuals?

I looked around for ages and eventually found a diff from an automatic =
Westminster. I took it to a gears/diff place and they checked and =
adjusted the so-called =E2=80=9Crun-out=E2=80=9D with some clever wotsit =
and it=E2=80=99s not made a noise since. Worth thinking about...at least =
for anyone who hasn=E2=80=99t put the 3:54 in yet?? It=E2=80=99s not so =
hard to do....you take the whole diff to the workshop. (Having extracted =
it first!)

My Lempert set is noisy, too, and I've heard from others that have noisy =
gears.  Some gearsets--maybe it's certain ratios?--are noisy.  My dad =
used to be a Ford service rep, and he said the early Mustangs all had =
noisy rear ends.

Redline now has a 75W-110 diff oil, which they claim might help cut the =
noise, without the thickness of a 140.  I'm going to give it a try.

Experts,

I had the Lempert gear set installed in my 1966 BJ8  this year  put =
about 2000 miles on it.

I have a pretty loud hum at about 35-45 =
mph=E2=80=A6=E2=80=A6=E2=80=A6the hum only occurs when =
accelerating=E2=80=A6..when you let off it goes away.

Can someone tell me what is causing it ?     can the new gears be =
readjusted if that=E2=80=99s the problem?

=20

Thanks in advance

Mitchell
