You could rebuild the diff, it just takes some skill to get backlash and bearing preload right.
If you get a diff from the salvage yard, you dont know what condition it is in...could be better, could be worse

Hey Merlin,

The howling is only occuring during accelleration. It has a slight leak at the front of the rear end...not sure what u call it. Pretty much where the drive shaft attaches to the rear end it is leaking out of that seal, and I think it probably was run for a while with not enough gear oil inside. Not familiar enough with adjusting for backlash...I have that on my tahoe and it drives me nuts. May just try and find a low mileage salvage. Thanks a bunch, brehmster.
