Checked as per FSM, nothing is amiss. No difference in play between the good one and the other one thats original to the truck. Both measure up fine with the dial indicator. The brakes are fine, no glazing a all, no locking like the other side would.

I think its stinking wheel hop, cause although it manifests it self as a bad axleshaft, all checks come back fine. I cant find anything else wrong at all, springs, shafts, frontend all seem fine, motor/trans is fine too. As It ake off I can feel it hop, my grandfather noted today that why the heck is my truck so damned torquey, he had v8s with less power. Something funny too, everyone always says the trucks are slow, imho it isnt at all, infact it has tons of power out of that V6-perhaps the guy before me had some engine work or had an RV cam set installed or soemthing when they did the engine-cause otherwise I dunno.

Someone suggested I get some antiwrap leafs put on, I found some on jcwhitney and will give it a shot. If it improves then we know what it is, if not I feel the thing is livable and will just pack it in. Or maybe ill work up traction bars or something.
