Re: New Gearset High Pitched Squeal

The shop put a stethoscope on the rearend and seems to think the pinion nut is too tight and the squeal is coming from the pinion bearings being sandwiched. They said they found somewhere that the 20-25 in lbs spec in the GM manual may be incorrect for the new bearing set (which had no torque spec) and are going to set it at ~12...anyone else run into this on a new gear set?
