Sounds like typical rearend whine, but interesting that it seems to have shown up all of a sudden. Has the rearend gear been in it for a while?

Well, I lifted the car off the ground, check the gear oil (it looked great, not dirty, not smelly) and it was full. I checked the drive shaft U joints and they are good. The noise sounded like it's coming from inside the read end. When I check the gear oil, it was clean and there were no metal shavings in the oil. I also checked for leaks and the axles are solid, no movement up or down. It's just a weird noise under a load while driving. It feels normal to drive, the noise just comes, and goes (learned that from the drive today!) Question? If I drive it like this, could it eventually freeze or lock up while driving? What do I do? Drive it until something goes wrong or start throwing parts at it? I'm up for more suggestions.. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smilie_help.gif)

What rearend is it?. It can come on all of a sudden like it wasn't there the last time out. If you can stand the noise expecially by knowing that it isn't going to blow/lock up it'll last a long time.
