Hey guys when down shifting, normally into first going slow in a parking lot and such i hear whining noises from the rear. Am i doing something wrong or is this normal?

I don't hear any noises coming from my diff. I hear a little gear whining coming from the tranny when downshifting, but not from the rear. How long have you noticed this? Have you changed your diff fluid recently?

Probably the differential. If you haven't changed the fluid might as well do it now, but some whining is not an issue.
