I have a 1997 Chevy C1500 P/u. For awhile now its been making a whine sound, sounds like from differential. Usually comes around 20 mph and stays on. Gets louder and louder as the faster i go. Only makes whine when accelerating or keeping constant speed. Ring and pinion bearing? or worn R&P?

sound like you may have the old ring and pinion whine , but tell you the truth i never do a gear set without replacing all of the bearings , its only about 100 bucks more and its the right way
