Yea, I have not had a chance to take it apart yet because of work so it still has royal purple 75w140 in it, That was the first thing i checked. I had to get an oil change anyway so instead of doing it myself I took it to somewhere and had them check the level. On the trac loc, about 30k, on the RP, I think about 7k. Why? Were you just thinking it was low or out of fluid?

Thats what it kinda sounds like. It sounds like something ate itself up. I haven't ran across issues with a diff making noise on a right turn only but that would indicate something wrong...really wrong. I use Valvoline synthetic in my 9" but I have a spool so no isuues there. I'm not familiar with Royal Purple so I can't say how good or bad it is. I'd be curious to know what it is.

Well I'm tearing apart my rear end on sunday so i will let you guys know what I find. If i can find my camera I will throw up some pics to. I went over to AMP today because it's about two miles from my work and the guy there told me wheel bearing as well. He said if only one was going bad then that would be why it was only around a right turn. If its anything to do with the trac loc I'm just going to due new track loc and 31 splines at PSR.

PSR is your best choice as far as I'm concerned. The issue with one wheel bearing being bad...sounds kinda fishy to me. If you had a wheel bearing bad you would have issues such as the seal leaking...constant noise...etc. Just noise on a right turn...those guys don't know what they're talking about...IMO.

Yea i like PSR better but like I said AMP is just 3 miles from work so I went down there at lunch. The reason I'm checking the wheel bearing first is because I have had multiple people that have a great deal of knowledge (all mechanics) say to check the wheel bearing. So that's what I am going to do first. I just hope that that is all it is. I was skeptical at first but how they all explained it to me is that if a wheel bearing is going out, when you turn right its pushing more on the axle shaft therefore the noise I am hearing. I don't know though. We will see. Thanks for the advice though because if its not the wheel bearing I am going to need any advice that you all can give me.

Well...I'm an ASE certified mechanic...not bragging...lol...but i've never seen or heard an axle bearing do that. They are under a load 24/7 but...there is a first time for everything...lol. Keep us informed...I'm really curious now.
