Unhappy humming the same tune?

I’m a first time owner of a 02 explorer which was purchased from an official ford dealership. The vehicle was used with 27k miles, with one owner. Only months later, did a notice transmission problems. i.e. Slipping and lunging into rear and/or drive. The dealership (only under limited warranty mended the problem at their expense)...months elapse and the problem returned in which the dealership wouldn't pay for 2nd repair. My cost $2k for tranny repairs....

<O></O>

Currently, my SUV has 125k miles and acquired a familiar humming noise (a noise that 02 explorer owners hear so well). This noise is very prominent at coasting and accelerating highway speeds. This noise is not from brakes, wheels, etc. I had those details check and replaced....from reading several and numerous post over the entire web, i realize that I’m not alone. <O></O>

<O></O>

My real problem wasn't the transmission...it’s the rear differential!!! I’m taking the replacement route into my own hands. I’m asking for 02 expo owners for your experiences replacing a rear differential. I’m going to locate and replace the rear differential through a university mechanics shop. This option appears to be the most economical route....<O></O>

<O></O>

Rear differential 02 owners....your my only hope!
