Has an auburn pro posi traction/limited slip.
Clicking Just started after he had a new diff cover installed, about 5 days ago. Any idea what this clicking noise is? Sounds like a detriot.

Branndon,

in my old 12 bolt i had the auburn unit. basically it needed more of the chevy additive for the rear diff. and then it went away.

i thought maybe that

this is my truck!

i gave the shop the gear oil and the lucas oil additive. that could be it but it isnt coming from the rear diff.??

 

[BranndonC]

could be the gears jerking which transfers to the wheels where we hear the noise coming from... starting in the center, and travling through the shaft to the end where the wheel mounts

o0o0o i see. the oil that is in now is MAG1 premium lubricants SAE 80W-90 Gear oil and the lucas oil heavy duty stabilizer quart. (i think its a quart.dont have bottle.) just 2 quarts of stabillizer or even the lucas synthetic oil? http://www.lucasoil.com/products/index.sd
