You might just need to drive it some too, just to get the fluid moving back

O.K., I will check that out too. I jsut had the fluid changed in both diffs
this fall like 2 months after I put in new u-joints and I haven't been
driving it like I was, everyday, 70 miles round trip, now its lucky if it
gets 5 miles a day except for days off. Will check that before I go ahead
and change out the rear u-joints.
