i just replace my pinion seal yesterday, and i took it down the road when we got done and the it would started making a whining noise when i let off the gas. So i dont know what could be the problem. im thinking that the pinion bolt is a little to tight. I had a friend helping me (he has a lift in his garage) but he told the pinion bolt off and he check the preload of it to, i think he said it was 10 in/lbs. but i was wondering if that could be the problem that the pinion bolt is to tight? anyone else had this problem

u joints?
A whining noise makes me think that the mesh of the gears could be wrong. Perhaps the new seal is not as thick as the old seal and the depth of the pinion is more into the ring gear now. Just a thought. There could be 5 different things that can cause the whine.

im pretty sure in is not the u-joints they look/feel pretty good. Its more a vibration then a whining noise. maybe the vibration is making me think of some whining noise. but im going to check the pinion bolt this monday. i will let you guys know if i fix it by loosing the pinion bolt
