Oh boy. My head hurts. All good info. Thanks guys. Pulling the rear end apart is the last resort. I think maybe I will go lift the torque tube up as high as it will go, fill it with trans fluid and then see if it leaks down after a couple days. If the seal is holding fluid I may leave it. The front yoke and bushing have some wear. I have all new parts on my shelf and was going to put them in when I found the oakie bushing already there. Since this truck will likely not see 1000 miles a year it should last at least 10 years. By then I will be too old to be involved and my son can do it. Might be a good time for him to upgrade the driveline and trans. I will update how things go on this. Thanks again for the advice and links you guys provided. Rich
