[V8] Replacement Battery and strange rumbling

[Bob Korn]

The noise from the rear could be the carrier bearing for the driveshaft. May
need replacement or lube.   A bit of a pain to get to, you have to remove a
shied, remove all the speed nuts and you can maneuver it out of the way,
and if your lucky you can rotate the drive shaft  enough to get at the
grease zerk with a mini grease gun.  Careful, if you loosen the support,
mark it's location carefully, it holds the shaft in alignment.
