Back from the dead, again. Have gears gotten harder to install quietly, crappy machining???
Gonna give it a try to see if it works. I have an bad whine between 50-65mph. Motives Performance 4.30 gear set....
They spent a full day an a half and stopped at 50 miles of test driving. I know they tried their best, replaced all bearings, etc. They do have the fastest street coyote in the country so the guy was upset about how it turned out dispite trying so hard. He took pics of the contact pattern, etc. From what I've seen online, looked about the same to me but I'm no expert. Next time, I'll let them pick and source the gears that way, in the end they will have to resolved it.
You guys have been on the hwy for hours right? Hot outside, cold outside, etc? Driving in all these conditions, has the noise changed? How so?

The guy who installed the gears in my Shelby also took a picture of the contact pattern of my gears. "Motive"
He was unable to make my rear end quiet with Ford Racing or Motive gears. After the third attempt, we gave up and I dealt with it. Red Line Heavy Shock Proof helped quiet the gears, but it was still there. Better than nothing.
