I just got this truck for next to nothing. The engine is sound and rides beautifully. When I baby the accelerator and take it slow to bring it up to speed it runs with no problems. When I accelerate moderately to hard I get a loud hard knock that comes from under the truck. If I let off the gas or it comes up to speed and just coasts the knock goes away. This is an AWD vehicle, and I did replace all the u-joints and the propeller joint or the CV joint as it is known by some folks on the front drive shaft. I'm wondering it the problem is in the transfer case or the actual tranny itself. It only happens when the engine is moderately to hard accelerated. Oh yeah it has the 302 engine if that helps.
