Hello All...

Have a few questions.

First off, I had 4.56's installed last week, and yesterday was the first day I drove the truck. the gears have a VERY low whine to them. It almost sounds like a jet engine spooling up, but very low. I also have a wub wub wub sound coming from the left front, could this also be a gear issue?


Lastly,

At the same time I got the gears I installed an Apten chip. It seems to ship funny. The chip was bunnder with the 4.56's and 33" times in mind. When the truck downshifts and it gets close to 1000 RPM it bounces. It never did this before the chip was installed. Also when upshifting, it seems the shift points are stacked very close. Is this normal for an Apten chip, or any chip for that matter?


Any help would be great guys!

Thanks!
Austin!
