It was the diff. I started hearing a low RPM whine on part throttle in gears 5 & 6. It gradually started to get louder and I could also start hearing it in 3rd. Couple days before I traded it in I really started hearing it in 4th at higher RPMS up to 4K or so. Its an odd sound....kind of like a hollow whistling. I got it checked out at two shops (one dealer, one indy) and both gave me the same diagnosis.
