Sure enough the new 3rd member cured the noise...good on Moser for fixing it, but also bad on Moser for that dumb ass that kept string me along telling me it was pinion angle.

Good deal. Glad you got that sorted.
I’m still searching for a 9” vendor. Looking at quick performance and Currie. I’ve used Currie before with good result but not sure it’s worth the extra $600 for the build I’ve specd
Good to hear your gear noise is gone, hopefully it will stay gone. C4racer, I have a Quick Performance 9" (from 5 years ago) and it makes noise. Not bad but can be annoying at times. If I were doing it today (or ever put a new gear in mine), I would invest the time and money into something like a GearFX unit. Pay once not twice.
Do you know what brand gear Moser used to fix your gear noise?
This is who I'm going to go to on my next set of gears. Sounds like this guy gets it.

Glad that you have your issue fixed, I have a 9 inch that howls while cruising. I just ordered a new third member from Moser set up with the stealth gear. Hopefully it's as quiet as they say
I just ordered the US Gear Stealth Lightning in a 3.70 ratio for the Cougar.

I talked to US gear directly. The guy I talked to (Leo) said that the Lightning process is available in any gear that US Gear offers. In fact, on Amazon, US Gear offers their standard gears with Lightning. Their part number nomenclature is pretty standard. The SS suffix indicates Stealth gears. The ISF suffix indicates Lightning gears. No suffix is the standard gears. I ordered 07-890370SSISF, which is a Stealth Lightning gear in a 3.70 ratio (presumably the 890 indicates Ford 9").

It's really good to know that aftermarket companies are finally addressing this problem. I'll be giving John and his Industries a call soon.
Just waiting to see if I need to change gears or clutch after adding the supercharger before I make the gear change. The noise is just annoying even though mine isn’t loud. Everything else is right in the car but a slight noise in the 3rd member.
I know this know this is a few mo.
Old but leo is one of the engineer's there,I got an email from him when I did my gear set in a 12 bolt,btw us gear make gears for strange.
