SCHMITTY
Not enough time
As soon as I engage 4wd I can feel and hear the truck popping . Just checked tue front carrier - looked fine , cad looked brand new and the fork works as it should , I just put new u joints in the axle shafts as they were sloppy but it still pops.
The previous owner is my friend and he said it had started doing this a little while before he sold it to me. It was intermittent at first but now it’s constant. He said when he first started hearing it he opened the tcase and it checked out , put a new chain in anyways.
This is while idling in a straight line on loose gravel , sand.
The pinion to ring gear has almost zero play checked by hand but the little spider gears had some wiggle . All the teeth looked good, pinion bearing isn’t sloppy .
I’m thinking it’s the tcase and he missed something when he opened it up.
Rear axle was rebuilt within the last 800 miles and has a Yukon grizzly locker
