I'm super isolated where I live. Closest other dealer is 3 hours away.

Starting to notice the howl....

4300 miles right now. I usually drive with the radio off and there is small, but definite howl from the rear differential when the gas is applied around 50+ mph, worse around 70-75mph. I had a pinion bearing go out on my last truck so I may just be very sensitive to the sound. Luckily this is early so if it is a big issue it will get quite a bit louder before the warranty is up.

Yeah, it's been pretty easy going really thank goodness. My wife has a 13 Chevy Cruze that we have continuous problems with, which we bought new. I have to go pick it up again tonight at the shop, lol. Ever since 5K, it's been a PITA dealing w/Chevy, but I was a PITA to them as well and pretty much got kicked out of one dealership and asked never to return (lesson learned).

Toyota though, has been a totally different story for me (and I learned my lessons dealing with Chevy on how to approach all this and be nice to Toyota from the start). Her next car will be a Toyota for sure. She has always been Chevy loyal as her grandpa worked for GM forever and we always had discounts too, but not after all this

Also, I'm pretty sure I'm so picky that the normal person wouldn't knit pick as much as I do. If things aren't perfect, I get weird. Most people probably don't even notice these issues we have with our Toyo's. The only main difference with my rear diff and a normal whine, is that it was so low on fluid, it would have eventually self destructed on a normal guy too, so there's that

I love this truck. Always been a ford guy myself and still have a 95 300 straight 6 4X4 short bed in mint condition with only 80K on it. I'll have it forever.

i had this truck all black, with the 5 speed, it was a dog but man was that a cool truck to drive, so simple and it pulled chevys out of the mud like nothing.

Mine got to the point where I could easily hear it over the raido, and even with the windows cracked. Couldn't really tell you when I first started to notice it initially, but it got loud. Mine was at 2927 miles when I got the axle replaced.

Mine is less, but it still whines 55-60mph. I can get it to happen if I feather the throttle.

Can you try it on yours with a quiet cabin and let me know if you hear it? I'm genuinely curious.

IS the TT-0390-16 the one for the DIFF whine?
