Diff rattle/grind/noise
Since I got my Jeep (not long ago) there's been a rattle kind of noise coming from what I assume is the rear diff. Also, the mechanic that just replaced my tranny said it was the rear diff, so that makes sense.
Question is, what is it, and how can I fix it?

I know it's a vague question, sorry. The mech just said it was the diff. I'll ask him more when I see him again.
Never opened it up myself, I don't assume anyone else has either. It only seems to make the noise when I'm stopped and in gear. It'll go away (as far as I can tell) when I let off the brake and accelerate. It definitely stops when I put it in park or neutral.
Haha, cool. With the way Greeley is, I probably know them, lol. I live right across from Central.

measuring and shiming the carrier bearing could be difficult if you've never done it before. They press on with a shop press. it has to be right or else all that work will be a waste of time and $$
