    Humming/whining noise in rearend

    So I took it for a ride today, put about 40-50 miles on it. It doesn’t sound as bad as it was, but the noise is not totally gone. It start whining at about 35mph, when I let go of the gas, it stops whining, when I give it gas, it hums again. Defimetly better than it was. On the highway it wasn’t...

    Humming/whining noise in rearend

Then I probably drove it about 100 miles in the next couple days before it started making noise, and as soon as it started making noise, I...

    Humming/whining noise in rearend

    The bolt has the square style head, but it’s an “innie, not an outie” if that makes sense. Basically supposed to be able to fit the end of a ratchet or the extension into it, (like my 05 mustang). I’m afraid it’ll strip it almost instantly (not the threades but the square itself). Should I apply...

    Humming/whining noise in rearend

    I just bought an 02 ranger 4.0 with 58k miles a few days ago. The Test drive seemed fine, I didn’t take it on the highway. So I Drive it home on the highway, and noticed a little hop in the rear, no big deal. I noticed the diff cover was wet, but it was a rainy day. I drove it the next 2 days...
