Just before i put the car away for winter, I wanted to show up the neighbors 82 corvette pavement stripes. As both tires smoking good, I eased up and started leaving impressive stripes. And then it happened, High pitch whine with constant but shallow grinding sound. The right rear left a nice dark thick patch, the left rear got dim and light, then nothing. could this be axle splines, or spider gears or something else?

 

Uh oh

 

Is it the 10 bolt or 9 bolt?

Assuming that because it has stock 3.73 gears then it's the 10 bolt with the Auburn. Another one bites the dust. Get a new Eaton.

 

well, she's at the garage now. i'll wait for the phone call that will tell me what the damage, ($$$$), will be...
