Well did you change out your gear ratio from the stock?? If so, this isn't anything out of the norm.

who swapped the fluid? what was the condition? that was the most important step in diag. if it has metal shavings youre gonna need to rebuild the 10 bolt.

you say its at 2k. is that with light throttle? sounds like worn gears. probably from a worn pinion bearing.

i'd say its time for some 4.10s. those and a complete rebuild kit. oh man im jealous, i love rebuilding rear ends. its been awhile for me. hmm maybe i need some 4.10s too

i think its in the transmission now..because it does it at certain rpms speed doesnt matter...and if u want to rebuild a rear end feel free to come re build mine..lol
