Dang Mike, that sounds like something that would happen to me. Every time I crawl under my truck. I find something that's bent or broken.

I,ve been dealing with this for a while now. I changed out my rear fluid about 5 months ago or so ago and i checked the fluid level numerous times thinking i didn't have enough or if i had to much, all was fine. Today i was looking at the carrier bearing which i had replaced a year ago and i decided to snap a pic of the missing weight. I noticed it before but didn't pay any mind, thought it was a sticker or something that wore. But after looking at it close i notice it was the same size mark as the weight next to it.

I would never thought the hose clamp idea would be in a service manual as a fix.

It is Chris. I was looking up some torque specs for Rick and I saw it!

Yeah, I saw the link and spotted it also. Too funny. I remember my first engine swap years ago and I had a horrible driveline vibration. My buddy's dad told me how to fix it with a couple of hose clamps.
