Differential whine

From : clark

Q: i purchased a 2003 ram van 1500 a month ago. theres a strange kind of a whine in the rear wheels when turning to the right or left. a friend of mine said this is typical of differentials with positraction. is this true or does it represent a problem turning the truck is the only time i hear this noise. clark .
