bogging when letting off gas
 

when in lower gears (1 and 2 for the most part) if i take my foot of the gas (especially in first) it bogs and bucks real bad. what could the cause of this be?

might want to check you diff mount, my car did the same thing until i replaced it, the torque from 1st and 2nd gear tend to put alot of stress on the drive train when decellerating, -alex

and if i were to check my diff mount (after i look in the haynes manual to see what it is lol), what am i looking for?

You might also adjust your TPS. Mine still does it a bit, but it's a lot better now that it's adjusted.
