If the crush ring was, pinion was set to tight.. But they are new so that might be a reason, break them in correct, then see if it gets better.

i put a set of yukon gears in my truck..didnt whine at all. i think my backlash was the very minimum that it stated in the instructions..have had no problems at all..great product IMO.

My friend and I just installed some Yukon gears last night and they are as quiet as the stock gears were. My guess is youre backlash isnt set right.
