Hey everyone.

Well, my dana has about 7500 miles on it, and never launched hard on slicks or street tires. It seems that the pinion bearing is going out, as it is pretty loud when I put it up on the lift. I am getting some wierd vibrations and noise, so when it was up on the lift we started it up and went to 4th gear and ran it at 50 miles an hour. Using the stethescope we heard the pinion was not healthy. UGH!

I purchased this through a group purchase...

Has anyone else experienced this with Dana's set up from Strange? I thought a while back people were having problems with them. So much for saving money through a GP.

When I take the rear cover off to inspect for metal shavings or anything, what lube goes back in it? If I remember right, Lucas 85/140 was recommended to me before, so that is what is in it I think. Anyone know for sure? I know Strange didn't want synthetic in it, for whatever reason...
