So my rear end is growling when I’m on the highway and let off the gas. Shop I talked with said they would just put in a whole new rear end instead of trying to diagnose the part that needs to be replaced.

I have a 15 GT automatic with 3.15 gears though. Should I just buy this from LMR and get the 3.55 gears or does anyone know where I can buy a rear end with the 3.15 gears?

3.55 gears

I don’t track my car and do a good amount of highway driving so I would prefer the 3.15 ratio for MPG

eBay had many good used rear ends from wrecked cars.

Do you hear any noises when the car has cooled down some while backing up and making a sharp turn ?
That’s what I experienced and it was the diff clutch plates.

I just bought a 15-17' auto 3.55 geared center section from Ebay myself for $420.00

BTW, these rear ends are NOT very quiet. ESPECIALLY if there's ANY suspension upgrades with harder poly/solid bushings.
