I installed a Richmond 4.10 gear in my 98 2wheel dakota, any advice on how to stop the whine..I have tried everything I can think of, no combination of shims seem to help they just change the speed the whine starts..

One person told me some aftermarket gear sets are noisy.
If the pattern checks out ok with marking compound I would not worry about it as far as reliablity. Hope it's not one of your bearings though :0

I was told using Chrysler gear sets are good because they are hand lapped or whatever thus make no noise.

But I've known a few other people who use aftermarket ones and be fine as well with no noise.
I plan on using something cheaper than OEM myself. Maybe I'll stay away form the Richmond?

As I had the rear end apart I changed all the bearings and seals, I thought by going to Richmond gears which are top quality gears I would
avoid problems...it seems not.

i have 4.10's also. Gear whine with gears that high is pretty common. You get used to it. I hardly notice it anymore.
