I'm *NOT* Skylar...
New member here. Just picked up a 5.4L 2002 XLT SCab with 195k on the clock. Other than an oil change and resealing the rear window to stop a leak I haven't done anything to it yet.
On my to do list is:
Trans fluid and filter change
Fluid change for front, rear diffs and xfer case
New U-joints on drive shaft to cure "clunkiness"
It also appears to be weeping some rear diff fluid out the driveshaft seal. Should that be addressed sooner or later than the other stuff on my list?

As long as it isnt slinging fluid around under the truck I would just check the fluid level in the rear end and be sure it isnt low.

Picked it back up. Nearly 4 months later, I'm back behind the wheel.

Look into greasing the splines on your driveshaft where it enters the transfer case before you do the u-joints to cure the clunkiness, unless you know they are shot.

/edit... nevermind... a search found the threads referencing the teflon grease. Thanks again.
