Rear End (8.8)
This weekend I had my 8.8 rear end swapped out when my gears messed up. The guy that replaced it put a used 8.8 in. Now I am noticeing a very bad grinding sound when I hit the brakes, and when I first touch the gas and right before I let off. I am kinda leaning toward the bearings but am not very sure. Its on an '83 bronco.
I posted this in the bronco forum also.
thanks

Like he said, look at the brakes. Gears and bearings usually whine or moan. They wouldn't get to "grinding" unless the axle was completely devoid of oil.
Try bringing your Bronco to a stop with just the parking brake while your window is down so you can hear. If it's quiet, look at your front brakes.
