It must be the 6 speed in mine. I have the 3.92, 17in wheels, and I run about 2400 rpm at 65. I hate takin my truck onto the turnpike, running 75-80 pushes me up to 2800-2900 respectively.
I was also gonna say that my truck has 22k on it and the lsd acts about like the one in my moms 96 ram with 170K.

^^ not all the time. They can have a vibrational effect that is rotational sounding. Sounding sorta far then close and increases with speed due to faster driveshaft rotational speed.
I would rule out gear noise unless it only happens in certain situations such as letting off the gas and coasting or when you are slightly on the gas.
If it's a consistent noise, then I would begin to think of the pinion bearing. Unfortunately the only way to check the pinion bearings is to take apart the entire rear end and do a visual inspection of the bearing races.
Pinion bearings are the first proces in a build so they are last to be removed....
I'd try and rule out a wheel bearing as well.

how do i check the wheels bearings, jack it up and tug the wheel side to side right?...and i know how to check the u-joints, but if its a pinion bearing i need the whole rear end rebuilt right?....it does make the whirring as im slowing down, its as if i have mild aggressive wheels on the rear of my truck while driving mostly prominent when slowing cause the exhaust quiets down, and if i throw it in n while driving it does the same thing....

okay i got a quote to fix my problems and its 250 bucks and i will be replacing the gears and all the bearings unfortunately i hate to shell this kinda money out on a repair but the upgrade to a better gear will be nice, it just throws me under right now....gotta pay to play or well pay to drive.....
