    Yer welcome. Most 670's ride like Caddy's ( old and new) and it's hard to hear what's going on below. I ALWAYS drive my rigs with the window down a bit. Bin doing that for decades. Even in the Bronx ( Hunts Point ). I've driven a few 670's with chains on the rubber ( wraps and OnSpots ), and with the windows up I can't even hear the chains 'clinking'. Call me old fashioned, but I like to hear my gear. The 'in-between' "u" was out of balance even thoo there was no play. I had the drive line pulled because all these 'stupid' new trucks are so 'tuned' that even a paint dribble can thro off balance on the prop shaft. No one could ever tell me WHY the 'U' was bad. It just was. G' Luck
