Big Driveline Troubles Pls Help!!!

My '94 Ext Cab, 4x4, 4.0L with auto trans is REALLY acting up! I reversed out of the driveway, placed it in O/D and tried to go forward. It moved forward in a very jerky manner and thumping/clunking sounds were coming from somewhere out back. Meantime, the engine seems to be bouncing between revving and stalling. The volt meter is swinging from 0 to 18 in sequence with the jerking and the clunking. I limped back to the driveway where it stalled before I was all the way in. It started right up but, when back in Drive, it would not go forward. (I did not want to mash the gas coz I was < 10' from my garage door) I saw a trip to the shop in its future so I decided to back out and park it along the street (to await towing). I had to try Drive again to get it parked straight on the street and it "worked" this time. There appears to be no problem going in reverse. I looked underneath and saw no leaking or smoking. There was some fluid stains surrounding the diff cover that appeared to be dry and old. Things are pretty rusty under there too. There are 109,xxx miles on it. I have only owned if for 5-6 months (or 1000 miles).

Could the problem be in the rear differential? (missing teeth maybe)
Could it have anything to do with the new Idle Air Control Motor the shop put on a month ago?
Am I really F**ked?

Thanks
