HELP! Currie built Ford 9+ in my 2006 GT noisy? Why? 3:50 gears. Help!!!
Hey,
I just installed a 9+ in my car. It is all brand new from Currie. See parts list below. I took car into them to go for a drive and Tony drove it. He said for sure the gears are making noise on accelerating and decelerating. He offered to take apart and look at it again. But he also said that a guy with a 2006 Mustang that work at Currie just put a 9+ in his car the other day and it is making noise as well with 3:50 gears.
Tony and Travis said he also had an after market Upper control arm like I have. They told me it might be the upper control arm and the Johnny joint making the noise of gears amplify and suggested I check that first.
I want to see if any of you have experience with this and know of any fixes or is it just a bad gear install from Currie. If it is Currie said they will fix, but hate to take it out again if it is the upper control arm. Only to install again with same noise.

Noise is noise. Its either there or not.
Just because the upper control arm is transmitting
it into the cabin for you to enjoy is not a valid
point for the rear end making ANY whining noises.
Pull the cover and do a gear mesh pattern test
and a ring gear backlash test.
That will tell you whats wrong.
Did you get the pinion angle set right?

Yea, I did all the adjusting I am going to do. I am bring it in in the am for them to take a part. I cant take cover off 9" without removing so all good. They are 10 minutes from house. I found out driveshaft had a bend in it. Got rebuilt.
As far as money goes I paid $900 for Curries rear plus $238 for full rebuild and new gears and driveshaft plus I spent $280 in rebuild of driveshaft. So not a bad deal for same great parts that are now ALL NEW!!! So not big buck. I am tight like all you!!!

I feel for you man. If you were here this summer you would have heard all the crap I went through. Noise afer long tube install.. (MAJOR UNBARABLE). Tun problems 4 trips 300 mi back and forth, TRANSMISSSION faliure after that. Then a bum new clutch from SPEC. Then problems gettting a a flywheel that even though was tell was as almost light as aluminum (which thank goodness I acually like so far).
My final fix is a MGW I had installled that is having bad road noise I am guessin because loktite was not used as suggested. Once I get tha fixed I should be good to go. But lets just say my original mods have turned into DOUBLE the price I planned on. I could have put a damn supercharger on for the money I have spent.
But once his MGW is kinda re installed I am taking a major break from performace mods. My last and final mod down the road will probably be a pulley and the FRRP intake.
For now I am goin cosmetic. I am debating the new Cervini's classic GT500 break like conversion, a new hood (heat extractor) or a custom painted plenum cover with real fire flames.
Thing is I only wash my underhood with a rag because I don't like the idea of water runnin all over my engine parts. I am wondering if I can WIPE simple green of with wet rag.
Anyhooot point is this. Unfortunatley on occaciosion you will run into problems/faulty installs what have you. The good thing about yours is you can demand they fix it correcty. My advice to you is be nice but KNOW when it's time to stop being nice.
That was my problem, I got rolled for being too nice. Tell them they can fix they can check the simplest thing first and if that does not work you want the gears completely replaced.
I just saw where you said they said the gears are making a noise.
You NEED to have them redo them. This is going to be your only fix.
Go ahead and tell them you WANT them replaced. Hell... if I were you I would use a new set of gears just to be carefull. Cover all your ends so this will be your last trip there.
Good luck my friend.
