Richmond 3.55 gears w/Auburn Limited Slip

[scdix50]

Monday I will be pulling my 8.8 IRS that is an open differential. I am having it rebuilt with everything new plus an AUBURN Limited Slip. I did alot of reading here and looked at prices on various website. I am goimg with The best Richmond gears (USA), Auburn HP LS (USA), Timken Bearings (USA), Crush Sleeve Eliminator Kit (?), and Tone ring from Ford (? USA). I am having a pro do the setup for me.

Finished the rebuild & re-install today (thursday). Total cost $1,177.00

Regear redo, I now have 5k+ on the Richmond gears and can not stand the whine that is getting bad. Started as a very faint whine to now it starts at 35mph and goes up to 75+mph. Other than the gears, I really like the AUBURN LS for street use. Now I am not sure what gear brand to go with. I am thinking about NITRO, They seem to be doing well in the 4X4 market. I still do not trust Ford Racing. Anyone have good luck with something else?

It sounds like the gears were not set up properly, think you need another pro.
