    A year later at 80K I have recently replaced CV Boots, curretly having troubles with my TOD not sure if I just need to do some regular maintence, but just maitenaced 2 months ago. Or may i need the inteceptor, or possibly my rear may be goin out.

    When shifting from 2nd to 3rd (AT) TOD goes nuts and makes a winnig sound that seems to be coming from the rear end??

    We have two '99's with over 80k each. Knock on wood, no problems yet. However, we were running Mobil 1 0w-30 and were losing 1 quart per thousand on one and a little less on the other. Then we recently switched to Mobil 1 truck and suv formula 5w-30. What a difference. Much quieter and less oil use also better mileage. Just did round trip Saratoga to Montreal with the AC blowing and going 70 mph plus and logged a solid 20mpg. You can take it from there.
