GOT MY TRUCK BACK FROM DEALER THE OTHER DAY FROM THE DEALER FOR THE 3RD REAR AXLE SEAL ON THE RIGHT REAR,THEY ALSO FOUND A LEAK IN THE REAR AXLE AND REPLACED THE REAR PINION FLANGE AND SEALS.NOW IT SOUNDS LIKE WHEN IM DRIVING AND LET OFF THE THROTTLE I HEAR A WHINE.I THINK THEY WOULD SHOULD TEST DROVE AFTERWARDS,BUT BY THE MILEAGE THEY DIDNT!!:help2:

Sounds like they might not have retightened the pinion nut correctly. There is a crush sleeve on the pinion and if it was crushed too much the diff will need to be disassembled.

my guess is they over tightened the pinion. or even the outer axle hub assy.
take it back....

Thats what I was afraid of hearing!!!Hopefully its something minor because it only does it when Im cruising around 25-35 or beyond then let off the throttle and there it is,step on the throttle and its gone
