Plantman,

When I was early in researching my noise/vibration issue, one shop had recommended a differential replacement. In a quick search I found Silver Star Recyclers ( out west somewhere) had one from an SDL, which I assume would have the correct gear ratios in it. Seems like they wanted more like $200-300 for theirs.

I've been unable to work on mine for the last 2 months (back injury), but just now getting mobile enough to start exploring. Let me know how your diagnosis goes. Two shops have looked at mine, one says axles one says differential. I need to get under it and look around myself.
