Ye. I've experienced a real bad u joint. Thought the truck was gonna shake itself apart every time I let off the gas on the highway. I need to leave the truck home now while I'm at school and all my tools are there so I can't do anything at the moment. The u-joint will definetly be first and the front hubs just cause. I also noticed the output shaft on te transfer case had a little bit of play in it as well so that could be part of the problem.
As for the rear end, a little while ago I drove through a big puddle and a little bit of water got into the rear end for a couple weeks befor I had a chance to change the fluid.
Now that I think about it that may be the problem. It was doing something similar wen that happened but it felt much better with the new oil. What I'm wondering is Mabey the friction plates in the rear end could have built up some corrosion and that's why it doesn't like to turn. But the new oil would let it slip more but after the drive home yesterday it was probably warm enough to not help as much. Don't know if that would make sense. Also don't know if the rear end would sound like it did.
