Rear end whining on power - How to diagnose cause?
Take it for a 10 minute drive than feel the universal joints if they are mildly warm that's normal if they're hot that's a good indicator of either lack of grease or a worn out universal, do you recall having replaced any universal joints if not they maybe washed out and have no grease in them...- The gov

Rear end whining on power - How to diagnose cause?
Just my two cents but a used rear end while cheaper and may sound like a great deal it's still going to cost to install unless you are doing it yourself, a rebuild of your own rear diff while more expensive is a once and done deal... But are you sure that it's the diff? I just did a friend's...- The gov

Spongy brakes??
Wait till the bottles are near full to be sure,just keep the master cylinder topped up, it might take 10 minutes or it could take an hour, I usually start with the 4 bleeders open and find that the closest to the master cylinder is the first to be closed, you can judge by monitoring the bottles...- The gov

Spongy brakes??
Definitely have air trapped in the brake lines, I would suggest you do a gravity bleed to begin with, grab yourself 4 beer bottles and some 3/16th clear tubing fill the bottles with enough brake fluid to barely cover the tubing crack the bleeders on your calipers, remove the master cylinder...- The gov

Brake getting hot
I have ran into this issue a time or two and now replace hoses at a three year interval, brake hoses get taken for granted unfortunately and are as important as any other brake component, I have seen some last 15 years but would you trust a 15 year old tire? don't think so, me either...

Gas mileage
As I mentioned back on the 6th about replacing my 02 sensors, I have replaced both the upper and down stream sensors with Bosch replacements, my fuel mileage probably increased by a mile or more, engine response is smooth and my idle is rock solid compared to it being a little rough before. 3...- The gov

Highway vibration
I think it might be advisable to check both your transfer case and front diff if the C.V joints are both good, possibly the splin on the yokes are worn a bit and causing vibration- The gov
