With the steering wander and water in floor boards and the gear noise we gave up. FCA bought it back. That was a process from hell in itself.To bad about your troubles, this type of stuff is annoying at times. Opinion wise your move to get rid of your jeep seems a little mis-proportioned. If the sound you were hearing was the same as mine then with a little homework on your part to learn as much about the operation of the rear diff and the problems others were experiencing mixed in with patience and help from JeepCares / FCA ECS you might be on your way to a problem fixed.
If your unable to get under your jeep or unwilling to then your path seems appropriate.
Any dealership willing to let you test drive their inventory of Jeeps to check out the noise of the drive line should have been helpful enough to look into your noise issue in greater depth though and come up with a solution you would be happy with.
My 2018 has the noise https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/knock-in-rear-with-dana-44.16921/page-40#post-853552
However the wife's 2019 is noise free and mechanically smooth as silk. Will it stay that way?, possibly not but now with the 2018 on its way to being repaired we both know exactly what to listen for and when it happens.
Regards and good luck with your next ride.
