removed the front driveshaft u-joint and it moves freely. I assume it is good. while leaving the front drive shaft connected to the transfer case but disconnected from the diff, I can swivel the shaft and there is hard spot. not terrible but noticeable. this looks like a CV type setup. could...

still trying to figure out how to describe this thudding/thumping sound.... maybe similar to that of rolling over very rough rumble strips ??

hey guys - I have a issue and its driving me crazy not knowing what it is. it seems intermittent and by no means am I a mechanic but when I have one ride with me, of course the problem won't show up. I recently purchased a 98 XLT sohc 4x4 (auto - 4lo - 4 hi). two owner truck with 72,000...

98 Eddie with 169k just bought it 4 days ago. runs smooth/quiet. shifts smooth. maybe it wont blow up on me for a while :)

thanks :)

thanks!
