Econoline Differential
1995 E-150 Club Wagon with 190,000 miles. After recent servicing, the differential "howls" on acceleration and cruise. The noise dissipates considerably on slow down. Any ideas? As I understand it an axle bearing and pinion seal were replaced recently.
Thanks for any thoughts on the subject.

My first thought is that whoever did the work over torqued the pinion nut and didn't use a new crush sleeve when they changed the pinion seal.
Or, it could be the axle bearing was installed on a worn axle. There are repair bearings available that offset the rollers to a new surface of the axle. If you install a new standard bearing on the worn/pitted axle surface it will make noise.
Incidently, my van is a '95 E-150 Clubwagon XLT with 255,000 miles. I changed the ring and pinion (to re-gear it) at about 200k miles. It had one axle bearing that needed to be changed but other than that it was perfect.
