Nope stoped on its own.. than I cleaned up the area and I went around a checked them again. one or two where loose. I was going to drop than pan and use the stock gasket. but got under there and notice it didn't look like it was leaking.. Fluid was low. Added till full ran for 30 mins than drove it to advance. Still no signs of leaking

There might be a small leak around where the drive shaft enters the tailshaft though.. Cleaned that area and checking

To check the tail shaft all you gotta do is disconnect the rear ujoint and pull out the slip yoke. start the truck and put it in gear crawl under and look at the shaft if its bent youll know it instantly. It has a center notch from the lathe that made it. It should be right in the center. if it aint the shaft is junk. Been there done that..

Well all is good. Leak is fixed and vibration is gone.. Thinking when i put the rear driveshaft back on it put it on 180 so that stoped it.. I all so rotated the tires. But if it was tires im sure i would still feel it
