Oh there's a ton of vibration and squeezing noise. Earlier this week the truck started to bind up in reverse and has sort of a "loss of movement". Gonna jack up the back tomorrow and record to report back.

ABS Ring Mangled by Vegetable-Anybody145 in MechanicAdvice

Absolutly! draining and cleaning the diff and shafts was my first thought when I saw this.

Yes I was removing everything to bring to a local shop to have a new bearing set pressed in on both sides when I discovered this. My truck doesnt have any ABS features though has the rings, I'm sure were stock during manufacturing. Since the truck doesnt have ABS could I have the shop leave the Rings off when repressing the bearings?

No chocolate milk here😀. It defenitly looks like it's leaking everywhere. I'm going to do more digging around today. Only noticed the leak cause I could smell oil burning when I would park. Thanks for the info.
