Do you have a posi-track rear end? You need to replace the gear oil and include the posi additive.

real damage
 yea thats no joke i just shivvied under the truck this morning and statred poking and proding around and the rear end cheaked out ok, looked in to the cv joints and yup, okey dokie so whats next the tranny! Oh my freakin godd ?!?!?!  the bolts are gone! the 2 bottom bolts from the bell housing to the sag 4spd had gone someware so i pull one of the verry lose top bolts to get the correct thread pitch and size to replace them and lowe and behold those 2 holes were all wallared and striped out. luckly the replacement bolts came with nuts and i had pleanty of clearance to install em on the back side with some lock tite then i put a bead of tourq-loc from the center out so i can see if they are backing out later on down the road
