I got a 99' differential with 3.15:1 gears, 55k miles that has no whine, growl, or anything. $500 shipped and you can have it. Send me a PM if you are interested.

It's a Dana 44 and they are well known for the problem, in fact that's one of the reasons GM quit putting in the C4 automatic Corvettes!
