I am a new member but have searched the site alot before becoming a member. I am seeing a lot of chatter about rear end noise, so let me add my problem. 2004 Z66 291K, 3.73 rear end was rebuilt about three years ago (new ring and pinion, pinion bearing, carrier bearings and wheel bearings) about a year ago I started hearing a whining noise coming at about 50 to 60 mph when I step on the accelerator and it goes away when I take my foot off the accelerator and coast. I have tried multiple things that needed to be changed anyways, like new tires, new brakes and new u joints no help. The only thing I can think of might be the rear end work done 3 years ago wasn't done properly. Maybe installed bad bearings or incorrect backlash. I don't want to tear into the rear end again but it sounds like that is what may be needed. Any help would be great thank you
