Light grey tells me you have water still in the diff. Open up the diff's and Spray your diff's with brake cleaner & give them a good wipe and reseal and fill up again. i wouldn't wait for the Lubelocker go down to your local autopart store and get some RTV and do the change ASAP.

Changed the fluids last night and I won't say the shaking went away yet but it felt good on the test drive. I am keeping my fingers crossed.
Is there any way mud/water can get into axle? After draining and cleaning the rear diff, some fluid was slowly coming out of the passenger side axle into the differential.

I getting the impression that is something Electrical
Do you have a way to check via OBD port for any codes or run a diagnostic?
At what speed is the shaking?
Does it shake in idle?

Change the diff fluid, maybe slow down a little. All you people saying stay out of mud... stop. It's annoying and you're almost always going to encounter some on a trail unless you're in the desert. If he wants to use his Jeep for mud, go for it. We all have different styles, but one thing in common. We all love our Jeeps.

If the engine dies in water then I would NOT try and start it again.. reason being if you sucked water in your intake/engine and it dies you have a chance to save that engine by changing oil, removing spark plugs and turning the crank to get it out, otherwise you could hydrolock the engine..check your oil and see the color of it. Exploring in water is very expensive if you don't have the proper equipment(snorkel)
This was my second time out and didn't go too good. Made it this far and while trying to rock it out, check engine light came on and motor shut off. This had me pretty worried. After 2 hours of pulling it out with a come a long, it started right up. Spit about a gallon of water and mud out of the exhaust but seemed to run fine. When I finally got to pavement, I noticed a problem. When I hit about 2500 - 3000 rpm in 2nd gear (I have and auto) it starts shaking. After it shift doesn't seem to be a problem. I change the oil as soon as I got home. Check the transmission fluid and it is right at the full mark and looks clean. Any ideas what could be wrong?
Oh yeah, winch and snorkle are my next two mods.
