My daily driver 1990 245 has a howling from the rear end. I know most rear ends are overbuilt, and can howl for years without failure, but for peace of mind, and peaceful driving, I must do something. A rebuilt is not an option due to price, and probably parts non availability. 240s in wrecking yards around here have become very rare. Anyone ever have this problem? I traced the noise to the differential, sounds like the front bearing, but more likely it is gear wear. It had oil in it, I put a little more, which made no difference in the noise.

Anyone have a rear end for sale between Dallas and Louisville KY?
