Hey guys,

I just had a local shop add:

Front and rear:
5.13 gears
ARB lockers
Superior upgraded axleshafts

Front only (D30):
ORE EVO sleeves
ORE C2 gussets

The jeep has an intermittant high pitched ringing that happens after I sustain ~ 55mph for a minute or so and then slow down to about 20. It doesn't always happen, and it doesn't seem to change in pitch with RPM or wheel movement. It happens with or without brakes applied. The guys at the shop have already looked at a few things (front axle seals, front brake pads), but we're all scratching our heads a little bit.

Any clues as to what it might be?

Thanks!

Micah

 

I just had 5:13 installed I'm having a ringing tone around 55 to 60mph anything above that its gets quite. I took it back and the shop is pulling it down to see how it is wearing I've put around 400 miles on it. They told me it gotta be the ring and pinion they going to pull it out and see and put another set or brand in. Might be they were not installed just right or the gear was just off a little I don't really know we will see.

 

Have them check the the seal housing for the ARB locker. If it is installed backward it will drag on the cage inside the tapper roller bearing. They should also check the carrier preload, if there is too much or too little the you can get a howl on acceleration or deceleration......

 

Thanks for the input guys. I'll take it back to the shop today and let you know how it turns out.
