Tune-up and such...lots of miles

[afpj]

Listening to a youtube video can be different (by many dB) than in person, but from what I heard, it sounds like my car, and it's normal for me (02 Yuk, 5.3 4x4) Just the tranny engaging the gear. Was the sound occurring when you change gears, into and out of reverse, or just into reverse from any other gear? From a diagnostic standpoint, you could do the maintenance stuff and then see if the noise is still there. Tranny fluid/filter and both differentials (assuming 4x4) is a must, but I'm **** about that stuff living in the desert. You may want to add coolant and power steering fluid flush to the list. Good luck.

welcome back!

Oil, filter, fule filter, plugs and wires, cap and rotor, tranny fluid and tranny filter, and brake fluid, rear differencial.

Falling behind on regular maintenance , makes for a long list

Yours has a cap and rotor?

...well i'm just going to try a u-joint, should i do it or is it a pain in the the ass?

It should take about 20-30 minutes, not hard to do.
