you're having problems with your rear-end at 24,000 miles! wow, see i'm pretty sure i finally broke my l/s over winter when i had one tire on a patch of ice, and the other on pavement... yeah i heard a big POP! or something like that... still drives though
but i have 165,000 on mine hahaha.
One thing might be though if you take those corners to fast, as in you have your foot in the gas as you're goin around... but driving along in the snow, i ain't got a clue. It'd really suprise if there was too much slop in the gears though, cause the newer trucks are designed to have pretty tight gears, as the technology allows for it.
