It’s a far shot but did you check the oil in the rear end? Mine was making some whining noise when it was low on fluid before. It’s a long shot but sometimes it’s the obvious stuff we overlook. ---

you swithced the carriers, so now it needs set back up to be right. so either run it the way it is and live with it, pull it back apart and switch shims from the other housing in(maybe you’ll get lucky) or get a professional; to do it. i just swapped the gears in my truck, and it’s quiter now than it’s ever been. ---
