Was doing some spirited driving on the freeway on-ramp and all of a sudden i get this loud whining noise that sounds like a rallycar gearbox. The sound is either coming from the front diff or the rear diff. Car has 15,000 miles with stock clutch with factory fluids changed frequently. Transmission shifts fine.
:-(

It does sound like its coming from the rear diff but i guess if the TC goes out, it can sound like its coming from the rear since the noise does travel down the driveshaft

yup... it's your transfer case.... i just had mine go out on me about a month or two ago (had that same airplane whine noise to it), my fill or drain plug came off somehow...drained all the fluid out and yeah.... bad news..... anyways that sucks man. not a cheap part to replace..... i wouldn't drive around much on it until you get it looked at/fixed. it could break apart or seize up on you.

I went to reese tuning and they got it fixed up and running really quickly. you may wanna talk to them about it.
