Sounds like a bearing assembly/hub. If it is, get ready to spend some money, about 200.00 bucks a side just for the part and takes about 2 hours a side to change.
Ya' think since he can hear it in reverse, that it's still the bearing? Seems to me ya' don't hear bearings till about 20 - 25 mph.

I thought I had the turtle gears there, grest, but the build codes show one even slower than that (courtesy of lees):

I have always tried to get good gas mileage with most of the cars I have had over the years. But let's face it, what's a Vette that can turn on a dime and not enough power to take a Viper or whatever.[sm=badbadbad.gif]I have gas savers, this is not going to be one. I wantthe Vette to do that sometime down the road. One I can drive daily like I do now. You know ,a sleeper, you do not know it's there untill it is to late.[sm=crossbonesgif.gif] The 3.42 or 3.72 sound good to me. I need to find out what rear end I do have then I will decide.
