Re: Propshafts movement at only 62k miles,I can't see you needing a diff,or tcase..but stranger things have happened. you can spend alot of money chasing a noise. I'd put the ps back in and continue diagnosis. your probably going to have to live with a slight varying vibration..I think alot of...

Re: Propshafts movement ......I wouldn't condem the pshaft based on that alone...when my front diff gave up,it was noisy & binding,and when I took out the ps,for testing,the noise/binding was gone! no stress on the diff or tc.. the ps is a pretty simple design..it there's no play in the slip...

Re: awd vs 2wd the mod Waller wrote up is ALOT easier than changing the diff,for sure. mine didnt fail till 167K..and im sure theres alot of trucks out there with more miles(and making alot more power) on a stock diff than mine! they are a pretty stout piece. i yanked the cover & tube off the...
