i also forgot to add something the truck is a 83 not an 86 and we put a 86 rear end on it cause we couldnt find n e 83 rear end could the gears be different or the axles or what my zuke isnt a normal sammy it has a pick up bed on it so its extremely hard to find drive train parts for i will post a pic so you guys can see what it looks like

Yes it could be different gear ratio's, but that should have been check before install could also be as simple as universal joints they some times howl on there way out and would still whine because they still turn when the hubs are locked. If your worried about ratio's I believe there's a # on the diff you can check through the dealers. Hope thats helps./ Tom Canada
