Are there known issues with the differentials and if so how difficult are they to rebuild say in comparison to a ford 8"?
After replacement of the bearing with no change at all in the noise, what I though was a bad wheel bearing I am thinking might be a noisey diff. I found the pitch changes between accel and coast, is speed related but not load sensitive i.e. it doesn't change when turning left or right. Also, I am now begining to feel a roughness that eminates from the rear through the cabin. My second thought would be the center support bearing but when I checked it there was minimal if any play in it.
