Re: 12 bolt help

Do you have positraction? Does it howl all the time or just while turning one direction?

If an open diff, you may have burned up spider gears. Pinion nut could have loosened changing gear engagment. Either pinon or carrier bearings could have overheated. Carrier bearings usuallly howl louder when turning, pinion all the time.

Sounds like it has to come back apart...
