Hi Frank,

If it doesn't break in a day or so!, I would be suspicious of the spider
gears and the dished thrust washers behind them.  I have a 3.9 that
doesn't go clunk in the night, (or day either,) but makes noises at 55-60
as in whine.  Other speeds OK, go figure, You want it?  It's out of the
car now on the floor of the shop, waiting for a new home.  Make me an
offer, I won't be insulted.  Make an offer before I put it on ebay as all
original noises!
