So Im leaking a little fluid near the rear diff where the u-joint is. Its not a bad leak but I have noticed some fluid on the ground around the drive shaft area there.
Any ideas what I should look at first? or is it something I should worry about at all?

nope. its like 10 bucks you do have to pull the pinion shaft out just mark the jam nuts on the diff bearings pull the diff out and loosen the pinion nut and slide it out. then pop the seal.
when assembling you want to make sure that the diff has .008 thousands play from side to side and the pinion nut has 10 inch puonds of pre load.

(madeinthe80's) well maybe if im up there on the 19th for gymkana ill bring my seal puller and dial indicator we can wack it out then but i dont know if i'm gonna make it.

Yeah, its what I used initially, but the EAE is off and I cant figure out how to adjust it. When I get on the throttle it dogs down for a sec. Im going to do a log today and do a VE analyze to see what it changes it to.

i asume your tps based?
i dont remember do you have a wideband?
i havnt done mutch in the way of accell enrichment because of my tps problem but from what i gather the 4 load bins represent tps load points if its just a minor snap of the throttle you would go to the lowest bin and adjust the numbers up or down according to your wideband afr.

You're not far from me... in the past you made it sound like it was pretty far out of the way

Nah, weatherford isnt that far. From my work it takes about 45 min to get there, even less from my house.
