Okay, so idk if my u joints are bad. Hopefully y'all can help me.
When I put it in first gear, as best as I can put it, there is like a 'gap' before it moves. It exists with every gear when I shift. Say, when I let off the gas I can feel the gap before it 'hits'. Same when I push on the gas after I let off, it will kinda jerk. And there it a bird chirp like noise coming frome somewhere at low speeds. It is also extremely bouncy in 4x4 high and especially low. Sorry, that's as good as I can explain it lol.
I put it in neutral and parking brake on, climbed under the truck and twisted the drive shaft. There is about an inch and a half of rotation, and that is the 'gap' that I feel. It is moving within the acuall diff. No movement from the u joint itself. I have a video of it, just waiting for it to upload, I will post the link to it
Hopefully y'all can help!
