have the front differential checked and tranny. I have had the front diff replaced on my 05 already, only have 44K miles on it.

I have heard the same from others. I was told to just do some circles in both directions for the front diff and accelerate under all conditions for the tranny. Anything else specifica you can recommend?

Welcome to the Froum. As said the front diffs should be checked and changed every 25k or so miles to keep them working for a long time, many owners do nothing.
