Hey, Neil,

<snip>> Bob, Does the frequency of the "thump" change with speed? You don't
mention
vibration. I can't imagine U-joints worn so badly that they thump and
 produce no vibration. I have witnessed the destruction of a transfer case
 from vibration of the front CV joint.<snip>

Yes, it DOES change with speed, but only in 1st & 2nd. I've yet to hear it
in 3rd, 4th or 5th....& NO VIBRATION!
It sure doesn't sound like it's in the front end. Even Susan thinks it's
from the rear. Maybe I oughta drop the cover & drain the 'punkin' - just for
sh*ts & giggles.

I will lift her & run thru the checks you suggest, tho.
Thanx!
