[QUOTE=Jerry Terry;625161]You are right Greg the G Vans were horrible with rear end howling new or used years ago ive had race car rear ends that didnt howl as bad as them. going back to the original question go ahead and buy the good stuff now for a 12 bolt and then no worries.

The G-van rear axle howl was always kinda figured to be attributable to the fact that the operator was driving a huge "speaker" down the road. Or maybe better referred-to as a megaphone. Pickups probably had noise too, but you just couldn't hear it in the cab.
