My rear end is going south -- Help

There is a rhythmic whoom whoom whoom sound coming from the rear end of my S10 blazer when I accelerate under a load at highway speeds. I suspect that the rear axle (80k miles) is starting to show a problem. Does anyone have advice on what to do to diagnose the problem?
TIA

Good old fashioned 10 bolt... Diagnosis is easy, pull the cover and see if the gears are worn badly. If they are just go to PAW and get another axle.

After pulling off this diff cover, Can anyone tell me what should I be looking for to determine if the gears or bearings are going bad? -- It is just starting to make noise.

Have you checked your u-joints? That would be my first suspect.
