Don't have carfax but I can tell you the driveshafts use flex discs instead of u joints. Very common to go out and make sure they are replaced with a Gm disc or a poly. The dormans/aftermarket are interior.

Driveline shutter, I'm assuming this is due to some bad tranny and diff mounts. I'm a driveway mechanic so anything that isn't incredibly difficult I can handle.
Muted clunk/thud over bumps... Strut mounts?
Here's the one that worries me... Heavy acceleration in 1st gear, more so while turning, hi frequency vibration and grinding, like a driveshaft is touching some structure. I'm hoping this is also due to the possibly bad diff bushings.
What's the expertshttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png take on this?
I have yet to get the time to throw it on jackstands. Probably this Sunday though.
