Pull the diff cover and look at the spider gears. That would be my first thought given the conditions that it is noisy. Those are cheap and easy to replace yourself.

Ah the joys of old stuff....
I need to pull the radiator cap now that it's set a couple of days. My guess, it's still under pressure... it usually is. Which, I don't think is normal. My overflow is full, and it won't recycle what's in there.

I know nothing about gears, so I'll probably have to take it in somewhere. I've been told $800 and up to have a rear end rebuilt.
