Default Diff Question

My AUII XR8 ute has a slight whine coming from the diff. I have heard mixed thoughts from different people.
Some say to learn to deal with it as all Ford diffs whine, other have said to just change the diff oil. When going to the wreckers today to pick up my new rotors I asked him if changing the diff oil would make a difference, he said probably not. He reckons the diff could go at any time . . .

He suggested that when it comes time to get a new one that I should look at getting my diff built with EF gears as he said they are a lot stronger?? He said that the ratio will still stay at 3.45 and will obviously still be LSD.

Has anyone ever heard of this before?

Also, is a 3.45 ratio diff good for towing?


Cheers in advance
