I ran out of time today to pull the diff, Should have it out pretty quickly tomorrow morning though.

I was talking with my dad who test drove the car several days ago to see what he thought of the issue and he told me that he backed the car down the hill out of the driveway and stopped, pushed in the clutch, and the car rolled "UP" hill... that sounds like something is binding up in the rear end to me and makes me highly doubt the issue is being caused by a U joint (but new u joints wont hurt a bit). I have a 3.73 gear dana 44 installed in my project car so I am going to pull that pumpkin and put that in the Z. That will get rid of my problems for sure and give her a little more pep. Then at some point I will rebuild the diff that is coming out of the Z with 4.10 gears for the project car. Will let you know what I find tomorrow when I pull apart the suspected bad differential.
