I was wondering what do you look for signs of wrap?

Terry, would it be alright if you took a quick gander while you have my truck in the air whenever that maybe? Be nice to have some trained eyes take a look.

Drive shaft wrap comes into play mainly with lowered trucks and use of slicks or DR's. You can usually feel or hear the U joints binding on take off if it is happening.

Just look at the rear U-Joint housings, they will look like someone has been beating on them with a hammer. Bot the driveshaft side and the pinion side. If you have a aluminium driveshaft, and they hit even once, you will be able to see the damage.
