My 1989 Chevrolet Beauville van's differential started making noise after I changed the gear oil to a synthetic. I later took the back off the differential -- a messy task: why did they not put a drain plug on it?! -- and looked at the gears. Everything seemed OK, so I presume its problem is in the bearings. I refilled it with the best gear oil the local NAPA store had (Royal Purple) and have continued to drive it.
