tmleadr will know if it's the soup when he pull the hub to tighten the bearings. Could just be slush from water, or just residue from a previous leak that was in the diff mixed into the new dope.
I'm with you TL on just looking at the truck closely. I've begun to think mine is self healing. I had an issue with mine that if I pushed on the gas at all, it automatically downshifted a gear. It was fine sometimes, but when it shifts from 3rd to 1st at 20 mph, it was screaming. I was gonna adjust the kickdown cable, and just put it through it's motion, and decided to wait til later to repair it. The next day the shifting was normal and I actually have a useful gas pedal now.
Now if the pwr antenna would fix itself, and the TC bearings would tighten up, and the parking brake would ....
Pretty much how I look at it. I am going to do the tie rod end, wheel bearing and flush it again all at once. Hopefully this week. Have to see how busy the shop ends up being. Right now there may not be time... it really sucks when work takes over and fun has to wait.
