Has anyone got any insight into rear end failures with the Nissan Titan? I have a Titan with the towing package - it has 14K miles on it and the rear end is being replaced today under warranty.  Started to get a very noticeable whine while on a recent trip.  I have pulled a travel trailer that weighs perhaps 3,500 gross - not much of a load!  The dealer service people told me there had been "some problems" with the early rear-ends, and that I would be getting an "upgraded" one.  Thanks in advance for any comments.

We had the first rear axle fail at 7000 miles. Now with 36000 it happened again. The first warentee took 6 weeks. We hope this warentee won't take as long. The service manager looked up all the internal parts inside the rear diff looking for updated (improved) internal parts. NO change. The manufaturer is simply sending out the same diff!  That's crazy. We luv this truck. The motor is awesome! But were selling it now. If Nissan actually would have addressed the diff problem with an improved part we would never sell this truck. But we can't trust it now. Bye Bye Titan!

Anyone else had a second diff fail?
