Maybe it could last for years yet?
Do you guys drive around with this whine?

Is it a Dana 35, and how many kms on it...and do you know if it has done much towing ?
D35 is a marginal diff, and they wear out by ~200k, all the bearings
If you take it to an experienced diff specialist, they can usually tell you after a free 5min test drive what is causing the noise
Even though they will probably say you need a rebuild, it still might last a long time
with regard to used Dana 35s..be aware..good luck finding one that
isnt worn out
I think some of the later models had Chrysler diffs
