05 LR3 HSE w/ rear locking diff, 42K miles approx.... This weekend the weather was finally nice in Nashville and I drove around with all 4 windows down. Noticed that I was hearing a weird -- very subtle -- metallic shhhhh noise. Dont remember this noise before. It's not a BAD noise. Not brakes or dragging parking brake I don't think. I confirmed the noise when I was in between a drive thru and another building and its definitely something that wasnt there before. It sounds like a differential going -- like when my old 3 series bmw rear diff went 15 years ago.
Truck has the locking rear diff (which got alot of use in this winter's snow so far).
I dont notice any fluid leaks under the truck so not sure what's goin on. Worth bringing to dealer? It has CPO warranty until April of 2010. Do these diffs make noise / fail?
