In the TM is a "driveshaft hinging test" it shows how to check for excessive play. Excessive play anywhere in the driveline will lead to all kinds of issues to include throwing driveshafts.
One of the army mechs told me there was a warning on the u-joints. Any more than .025 end play and they can blow apart. I dont know how to measure it though.
There should be a D stamped on the data plate its a bit larger than the serial lettering. That means the front driveshaft was updated the original design had issues.
I believe they have planetary hubs so there is gearing there also. Did you check the fluid first? I have new in the crate complete rear ends for the 5ton lmtv I think they are the same for the 2.5t.
