Well, Got the Getrag over filled today, big difference in noise. The rattling noise is now gone and it feels a lot smoother. Lot of metal fleck's in the old oil, is it normal? I have no idea when it was changed last. Didn't look to dirty though. Went through the shifter way easier than it would have been to crawl around with a pump underneath going through the PTO bolt hole. Popped it out, dumped it in and put it back, Way easy!

Also topped off the 205 with gear oil it was running a little low.

Remember my metal creaking issue and my idiotic install on a U-joint? Got all new joints in and perfect! Feels good and noises are gone! The old gal is feelin a lot better tonight. Now all I need is some tires.

Thank you to everyone on here and this site in general. It has made owning this truck a real pleasure. I really appreciate every one who answers my incredible load of questions. I just cant learn enough about these trucks and these engines! I Thank you all, I really owe a debt of gratitude to the site and everyone here.

Merry Christmas!
D-C out!
