Are you sure it's your rear diff that's making noise? Nine times out of 10 times it's your axle. Hard to tell with your audio.

Also welcome to the Forum.No pics from u yet. Unspoken gospel around here is...

Could be the diff, could be an axle, maybe your sub trans. Not a lot to go on here.

Best place to start would be your rear diff adjustment. Follow this procedure
