[FC] click or clunk from differential?

[Douglas Musselman]

Is your differential a posi?
I broke the posi gears in my Greenbrier differential.  Not knowing it  
was posi I keep driving it keep getting louder until I broke the  
plates and ruined a good differential.
Had the u joint click in the Rampside at the Lake Placid Convention.   
Could hear the echo off the building in town.  One time I was glad it  
was trailered to the convention.
