Both of these trucks do the same thing, when you come to a stop, it kind of rocks to and fro. I can picture the driveshaft working in and out. The crush sleeve, the pinion bearing, and seal .. then the pinion itself starts to work in and out on the ring.

Are the diffs as a whole just too small to begin with? would better structure to the hog head such as renforced webbing and cooling fins bult onto the casting help? Why don't they still use aluminum prop shafts on these trucks like they started in the late 80's ? Would anybody condsider replacing their whole unit with a "traditional" Ford 9 inch from the 60's??
