When I shift into reverse, it seems like there is a lot of slop in the drive train, similar to a failing U joint problem I had in an old F250. I went under and grabbed the drive shaft, but there isn't any play in it. Any ideas? It has been doing this for as long as I can remember and doesn't...

He installed a "brakesmart" system in my 5 ton and it worked like a charm. We had to install a transducer in the brake line and some batteries which...
