Strange noise...
Hi all,
About a month ago I started hearing a strange humming noise coming from the rear end when I accelerate. I usually start to hear it when at about 20 mph and it gets louder the more I accelerate. When I let off of the gas I hear what sounds like a scratching noise just for a second and when I push on the gas again it's back to the hum. When my foot is off of the gas I don't hear the noise at all.
When I open my rear sliding window the noise gets really loud so I'm positive it's coming from the back of the truck.
2002 V8 2-wheel drive
Any advise would be great.
Thanks!

RE: Strange noise...
Last time I had an oil change they said my rear diff fluid was leaking. They said it's leaking from the pinion and that it would have to be replaced.
I just called my mechanic today and he said from my description it sounds like my rear end needs replaced. He's saying that a rebuild rear end could cost up to $1500 and it would cost about $500 in labor.
I just bought the truck in July so I've only really done oil changes. THis is the first major problem since I bought it.

Went to at site; Randy's Ring & Pinion and they're quoting me $707.85 for the entire rear end. I found one at a junk yard for $450.
The dealership wanted to charge me $1890 to put a used rear end on and said if I wanted to do it new that I'd have to buy all of the parts seperatly and I'd have thousands of $$ wraped up in it then.

RE: Strange noise...
I'm really thinking about doing it myself. Would you recommend buying new? I'm leaning to buying one from a junk yard and putting it on. It seems like it would be a little easier (and cheaper).
Do you think I would need everything here:
