Yeah I been driving it since 09 when my brother passed and it was left to me. Never any sound and no problems with it yet. I was thinking about packing it with grease and doing the old duct tape the rubber boot trick... But I'm scared if the grease starts pushing the grit and **** around thats in there its gonna be trouble. Can't afford a new shaft right now either. But like I said even in 4lo no noise, no troubles. I know its just a matter of time though.
