I need to replace the rear differential in my 05 explorer due to the notorious whine. I was wondering if a rear differential from an 06 explorer would work? Or anything newer/older for that matter? Thanks

I would stick with an 02-05 pumpkin. You can find them rebuilt with a warranty.
 






with the new design ring + pinion gear set up and a rebuild that whine would go away perminately.
 






I called my buddy at a salvage yard and he said that according to his salvage interchange 2005-02 Explorer, Mountaineer, Aviator will interchange with your truck, you just have to make sure you get the correct gear ratio. Hope this helps.
 






Isn't the whine pretty much normal for our X's?
