Sometimes when I take off from a stop light or something it sounds like my gears are grinding, but i cant tell if that is the problem
Does anybody have any ideas of something else that would be or do i have a problem with my gears

If anybody has any ideas or advice it would be very helpfull   Thanks i would appreciate it

When was the last time you checked your trans and tcase gear oil levels?

When was the last time you greased all of the u-joints on your rear driveline?

My friend burned up his Pinion bearing in his rear differential, and it sounded like gears were grinding and it sounded horriable.
Jack your rear end up and spin the tires by hand with the trans in neutural. The tires should be able to freely spin at least 360 degrees before coming back to a stop. My friends couldn't even rotate 180 degrees, even if I was he-man.

Is this a 3.0 V6? Or a 2.4 22R-E Pickup? 5speed? Automatic?

Don't forget about the axle shifting mike  

Also, when he shifts from say park to drive, or reverse, his rear diff angle drops and raises.  Not every time, but it moves about 3-4"
