    Just finished changing out both differential fluids, transfer case, manual transmission fluid (man that top fill needs to be in a different spot), and now i get a binding feeling in the driveline. nothing crazy, just doesn't feel smooth. Double checked all fill plugs, and levels are correct. Any ideas guys? Checked tire pressures, engine oil level....out of ideas..
    thanks in advance

    Binding? When? During shifting? Rolling resistance?

    Unless you took GL4 out of the tranny and put in GL5, or put 85w140 into the diffs, there isn't much else to 'feel' from fluid...

    resistance feeling when the driveline is under tension. 4th gear, downhill, decelerating. 30mph seems to be the worst. 3rd or 4th gear. again, not crazy bad, just different.
    I put gl-5 in the tranny, transfer case, and in the diffs.
    maybe just being picky, but i am shooting for this truck to make 350,000..
    thanks again
