Hoping for good news
Well unfortunately for my wallet's sake it looks like I might have to put off lifting my truck for a little while longer. Driving home today I started to notice a little driveline vibration. I've only been driving the thing a single 120 mile trip every 2 weeks for about 6 months now so I haven't noticed up until now but it might have been going on for a while. I also heard a (cringe) slight grinding noise around 30 mph, sounded like it was coming from the t case. Didn't notice any fluids underneath and haven't had a chance to check the fluid levels yet. Anything else I should check or look into? Really hoping that I won't need a new [insert-expensive-rover-part-here]....

Just went outside and looked around. All fluids under the hood look fine, with the exception of engine oil, which was just under the line, but due for a change anyway. Next problem- I can't get the filler plug off the front diff to check the level/quality of the fluid. It's on there way too tight. Any suggestions for getting it off?

You are just going to have to use a bigger hammer it get it out.
Its not to tight, it just has not been taken out in a really long time.
Get a better angle with your rachet and then use a small hammer on the handle to loosen the fill plug.
Expect the rear diff and t-case to be the same way.
