[5.0Flareside]

and it was the god danged U-joint! the rear one. i finally gave up trying to fixed it on my own and took it to transmission masters.. the only drivline shop i trust. and told them what all ive done and they said what bout the u-joints? and i said they felt and appeared to be fine. and didnt feel any play in them they drove it and then checked with some special tool and guess what they found.. the rear u-joint was basically toast. they said it was to unsafe to drive it couldve completely broke at any minute. heres the pics to prove it.......

Holy crap how did you not notice?!

well when pushing and pulling on the driveshaft and pushing up and down the u-joints all felt tight.

Jacking the rearend up is a new one for me too......that u joint ain't bad...little bit of sculpting with some JB weld and then perfecting it with a die grinder ....woulda been brand new again! Advanced auto parts FTW!
