I've been living with it since last summer. I can't tell if I only noticed it when I got rid of some other noises, or it just started then. It drives really well. My gas mileage isn't great, but it's not horrible.
I just assumed it was the pinion bearing preload washer.... but some of you guys have had the rear and replaced with the same noise afterward...?

Per my above post, new differential did not fix the problem. So, either the replacement differentials suffer from the same problem, or...the whining is not coming from the differential.
But since the whining ceases when you let of the throttle, that signals (at least to me) some kind of “lash” in the drivetrain SOMEWHERE.
Any mechanics on here want to chime in on the cause?
