Check 4 slack in the U joints.

angles arent bad...how do i check for slack? ive heard several ways to do it but would like to hear how you guys would...

usually when its a u joint you will get a high pitched squel....i would check the brakes to make there there not grabbing..... how old is the transfluid..and rear diff fluid

Does it have the limited slip Diff?

 

[liter of cola]

transfluid just service when i bought the truck 6k ago...pretty sure it has limited slip....how do i look it up? i know it never does the one wheel wonder...dunno about rear diff fluid...

 

[bobkyle2]

there should be a sticker on the door jamb... and there will be a little box that says axle... and there will be a number like H9 or B6....

 

[bobkyle2]

im building a thread right now to decode that sticker
