4x4
I have this strange noise when i put my truck into 4 wheel drive. It almost sounds like a click or a crunch. It doesnt sound like heavy metal contact but rather something small and soft like a spring. It almost sounds as if a spring is binding up somewhere. I have replaced the right side hub and repacked and redone all axle seals also. The truck still runs like a tank in the snow though. Anyone have any ideas?

check the linkage, I believe there is a spring in there and it might be binding
|
Sorry forgot to mention i also get a slight death shake. I only feel it in 4x4 and when im coasting or slightly on the pedal. if i get hard into it then it goes away. Front end looked good when i tore it apart and put a new tie rod ends on.

how do all the u-joints look? with a wobble I would have to say one is about to go!
could also be a hub not fully engaging or something along those lines |
u-joints look good. Like my Signaturs says, i think the diesel god just hates me.
|
another thing you could check for is play in the front output for the transfer case, might be wobbly. that or hubs and wheel bearings
|
input into the T-case as in up-down, side-side movemnet or in-out movment?
|
an excess of either would be bad.
could possibly push the axle around if it's on a really oblong rotation... not 100% sure so I'm throwing ideas out. |
well i looked at my front drive shaft this morning again. Again it felt solid until i put my hand on the double u-joint on the t-case side. got about a half inch of movement from side to side ha ha.:argh:
|
Yikes! thats almost as bad as mine.
my front output on the t-case is toast.. I think it moves at least an inch in any direction, just picked up parts the other day to work on it. glad it will be a relatively cheap fix for you |
