Items that need fixing (I know off)    

• Torque Tube, release bearing ?? I hear a suspicious whine, will see if it get worse with miles/time. 1/25/08 I suspect this is the rear diff now, the previous owner replaced 5th gear which is also the pinion for the diff. I wonder if maybe something is not set up right?
