My symptoms were a whinning sound around 50-60 mph which stops when you let off the gas but happens again when you step back on the gas. When I check the oil in the diff, it is a dark color rather than the clear pink oil they put in. Check the inside of your wheels to see if you have any seal leaks. Two of mine had seal leaks. Others have had metal rattling sounds all the way up to a total lock up.
