BTDT. Easy enough to check, just drop the driveshaft. If the bearing and carrier don't spin with no vibration at all, it's bad. You will have to separate the shaft halves to replace it. MARK THE DRIVESHAFT HALVES!!! It's not keyed, and if you don't put it back together on exactly the same s

the gassers have 4:00 or 4:11 rear ends, the diesels have something like 3:23. Lotta low end performance, but 4500 vs 6600 choped the top end off. Factory six cylinders usually go 110-120 mph. Must be something else wrong with it too, a stock 75/75 300D W115 will do 95. Peter _
