i bought this truck a few years back and it treated me rather well other than (i am sure i am using wrong word, little black box that plugs into the wiring hardness) silenoid giving me issues with truck not starting unless it was played with in the wiring harness, not sure if it was the right fix but a friend just soldered some wires and it fixed that issue
fast forward a year or so and the truck was getting me to work and back with very little issues, well one day on the way home from work it felt like the entire truck was tugging like i was going uphill with a huge load but i wasn't i was barely going at a incline at all and the truck was slowing down, it eventually stopped and it ran perfect all the way home, the next morning i put it in reverse after warming it up and i heard this noise like i had just backed into someone, freaked out i get out of the truck and see nothing (funny part is that i actually got out and made sure nobody was behind me before hand) so i put it back in reserve and it moves only a few feet backwards and wont go any futher i put it in drive and it moves just about to where i normally park and its been sitting there for sadly 1+ year i have had several "mechanics" look at it nobody really ever gives me much to go on, the most recent guy put it on jackstands and did a few tests i didnt really understand and he claims the rear diff needs repaired/replaced.
