I am going to get on the road this morning, find a valve core remover and a tape measure. Thanks for your help Suprman, and thanks for the advice yesterday. oh, and Happy Thanksgiving all!

thank you big block 88!

being it’s my first voyage, and probably the first trip of this length for this truck, I’d hate to be stuck somewhere with someone else’s goods on the back, though in the future (pre-RV build), I’d be happy to do it!

I will try to air down a bit this AM, then I will swap out the 2 tires most suspect, I have 2spares with wheels on board. Thank you!

Thanks for the advice, pretty sure I came to the same conclusion last night... RE balancing. I am am going to try the air down trick this morning, but that makes me nervous with aged tires, that was a serious nono for us to do with old rally tires. The only actual problems were the u joints...

i did just do the intermediate axle, and I did not hear from anyone what theirs runs at yet. I am pleased to see a temp drop anyway!

I appreciate all you guys chiming in to help us figure this out. Glad I didn’t smash simp5782 when the truck rolled uphill!!! We had the wheels chocked on the downhill side, that was a moment..... simp5782 was a lifesaver today. He really helped me with my confidence to carry on. He dives under...

I believe the mode button, but I haven't learned about it yet, I assumed it was for slow speed only...

We dropped the fluid from the center axle, looked clean (no real metal to speak of). We are going to replace the 2 rear most u joints and phase the u joints correctly. There is another strange issue.... With the rear most shaft removed and the vehicle in nuetral, the driveshaft behind the...

Very likely my problem then, thank you!

Just discovered the rear most driveshaft is not phased the same as the front 2. Also, there is play in the yoke coming out of the center axle to the rear. Is that normal? Or should they all be phased the same?

Thanks guys! stop 2: 64 miles hubs 76 to 98 Axle housings 131 / 195 / 124 ujoints 75 average, front of rear axle 115 trans pan 164

Sorry for all the individual posts, for some reason my iPad won't multi-quote... :/ I leave Tennessee tomorrow AM. First stop for some extra spare tires and some truck inspection in Memphis by simp5782 (extremely helpful and knowledgeable), then hopefully into Arkansas to a friends place...
