>A guy in my department has a '92 4x4 Dak with 85,000 miles. He took it to the

>end has a pronounced whine that rises in pitch with the MPH. It starts about
>40 mph and sings higher and louder as you accelerate. The whining stops if
you

>I'm thinking the gears are monkeyed-up now but I don't know how to check
them.
>Is it possible to take the diff. cover off and look for unusual wear
patterns?
>Can't the guys at the dealership check the angle of the gears to see if things

>Anyone else have a Dakota that sings to them at highway speeds? (No, it is
not
