70 miles after my rear DS rebuild, it started shuddering. Thinking my AW4 was shuddering, I did my third trans drain & refill, cleaned the pan & installed a new filter. Drove it 17 miles, still shuddering, to my buddy's shop where we found a bearing cap had fallen off one of my u-joints b/c I didn't get the retainer clip in right. It ruined the bearings in the centering ball (double cardan) and dented the link yoke and SYE, but I had a spare centering ball and u-joint, so we took it to a driveline shop to press the ball in and replace my botched u-joint. $40 + $33 in parts on hand.
Then we installed a new CPS and distributor sync cable to fix my random stalls.
Drives right once again!

I got mine cleaned up and posed it for a pic. I've got my entire 6.5" lift completed and ready for the install. Just waiting on the dough to get me a slip yoke eliminator.
