Scratch that I just had to put in a new used t case. Went to have the shop replace seals found out that the front shaft moves up and down left and right about 1/4 of an inch... I saw it myself on the lift.....GRRRRRRR

When everything was stock the most my truck saw was somewhere around 110,000 miles. Now it has 167,000 miles. That only counts for the body and bed and interior. I upgraded engine with a 5.9 and rebuilt when it was at 110,000 the old 5.2 was still going strong. Then upgraded to 4wd at around 130,000. The donor truck had 150,000 on it. The tranny was rebuilt 1 month before that truck got into its wreck. I also rebuilt both axles new gears and bearings. And rebuilt the tranny one more time at 160,000 due to tranny line blew and burned up the tranny with no fluid.
