Noisy 3rd Member

I had a set of 3.55 gears in my brand new Moser rear-end that made noise at speed when I let off the gas. One of the forum members here told me about a guy named Ernie here in the Dallas area that has a reputation for knowing how to dial in these rear-ends. So I pulled my third member and took it to him and sure enough he fixed the problem. He replaced the gears and the pinion bearing. He found the lash was out of spec and I forgot exactly what he said was wrong with the pinion bearing but it was something like not being installed correctly causing the pinion to sit at a bad angle. Needless to say my opinion of Moser is pretty low. It's not like I brought a used rear-end, this was brand new housing and third member. You would think that a company that specializes in rear-ends would know how to set them up before they ship them but that's apparently not the case. I won't be using them again.
