Mine is pretty loud though...around 50 mph I cant even drown it out with the radio unless the volume is somewhat high... Weird thing is, the noise get quieter the faster I go...

Hey guys, recently picked up a 2001 SE 2wd with some rear end noise. The rear whines between 45-60mph, pretty noticeably, but only when on the throttle. If I let off, the whine stops. I drained the rear diff and the fluid was silver looking...thinking rear end might go out soon, so since I really dont have knowledge rebuilding diffs, I'm just gonna drop the rear end out and swap it. Will any axle from 96-04 work with my 01? Do I need to have a 2wd axle or can I use one from 4x4? I understand gearing with 4x4 is different, im more concerned with bolting everything up since I have a 2wd anyway. Thanks
