PapaPerk,
My truck is a 2wd.
If someone has time jackup the rearend and rotate the tires back and forth with the transmission in gear and the parking brake off. This will help trace the slop to either the transmission, transfer case, rearend or all two or three of the combinations.
I did read that some members are experiencing CV joints prematurely wearing out on 4wd models.
Personally, I'm not too concerned about it. Just forces me to be a little smoother in my driving and members on other forums are approaching 200k miles on 3rd gen 2wd trucks and they haven't broken anything yet.
