What's going on?

2004 Chevy Avalanche 1500 4x4 Z71. When i am driving..about 5 miles down the road and above 15 MPH i begin to hear a whining or very faint grinding noise coming from under the vehicle. Once i get her up to 50 or better the noise goes away. I took it to the dealer and without taking anything off they told me that i would require Ring and Pinion and Bearings. Total cost $2375.00. Thye also mentioned front axel seals require replacing.

I do not have the funds to pay the dealer but have a fairly decently equipped garage. Thinking of performing the repair myself. Dont want to replace what isnt broken...any suggestions?

 

Have a 2000 miles road trip coming up in 5 days and only have the rest of today and sunday to work on this. Any help is much appreciated.
