how loud is it? Is it on acceleration? Just coasting? Deceleration?

usually cruisin at about 60 and up when i accelerate it goes away which made think it was just the 12 bolt whine people tell me about i just want to make sure because now my rear end feels a little squirrely. but its constant and as soon as i speed up it goes away until i stop accelerating.

That is fairly common to hear the noise you are referring to, and I wouldn't worry about it. The axles don't use C Clips, so it can't be anything internal giving you the uneasy feeling. I would check to make sure the wheels are still tight, also check the sway bar mounts, and the torque arm bolts. The torque arm bolts need to have loctite applied, as they tend to loosen up. Bob
