1997 GMC C1500 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

so it started only after i would come to a complete stop, i would feel a little rumble a couple seconds after the stop, and it was not coming from the engine. Now i feel it while im stopping also, and its coming from the back of the truck. I also noticed that my drive shaft that use to be loose, is tight again and it is wet under my diferrential. What do you suppose it is and what should i do?

rear wheel drive only

The first thing I would do is remove the differential cover and inspect the third member, I am sure you're going to find some problems. especially if was loose and now it is tight (That's what she said) use a clean pan to catch the oil, and let me know if there is any metal in the oil.
