i went wheeling today with prism and 81toy4x and we had a blast. prism was showing us how the older guys do it and it was awesome. so then we were on the last trail of the day and it was kickass, yet again thanks to prism for that sweet trail. anyway nick(81toy4x) was in path the i wanted to take and wasn't gonna be moving antime soon because he didnt want his truck to get dominated by a tree. so prism was like take this route and i went for it. i go through the puddle and i must have hit a log or something and right when i did, there was a funky sound. a clanking sound i would call it. and it only makes the sound when the hubs are lock, doesnt matter if its in 4wd or 2wd. the sound is also coming from the front end. so my question is does anyone have an idea of what this sound is coming from. i know i didnt give a good description but thats all i can give right now, any help would be appreciated. im gonna get it on the lift tomarrow at school to c if i can figure anything out, but u guys always seem to have a good idea as well.

Its probobly either the ring & pinion or the spiders. Those parts seem to scatter easily.

Skinny_Pedal · « **Reply #2 on:** Jun 16, 2004, 08:38:43 PM »

u think, thats gonna suck if its true. prism seemed to think a cv but both hubs need to be locked for the sound to happen?

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #3 on:** Jun 16, 2004, 08:41:16 PM »

The cv's are really easy to kill too. Just try the old shake and twist method. If you feel more than 1/8" movemont in any direction then its toast.

ok ill go do that as we speak. i swear wt u are my hero these days. i just hope prism doesnt give u such a hard time this weekend at goldendale

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #5 on:** Jun 16, 2004, 08:45:19 PM »

No worries is he smarts off too bad Ill just slash the tires on his rascal scooter!

Skinny_Pedal · « **Reply #6 on:** Jun 16, 2004, 08:49:22 PM »

ouch! anyway i just went to my truck and it feels like my passenger cv is a little losser than my driver side. but ill just get it on the lift tomarrow and have the front wheels spinning and c if i can figure out whats going on.

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #7 on:** Jun 16, 2004, 08:51:28 PM »

lock the hubs and put the t-case in 2wheel. See what happens when you try and turn the driveline. Then unlock one hub at a time and spin the driveline. See what happens, that will tell you what the issue is and where its at pretty quickly.

Skinny_Pedal · « **Reply #8 on:** Jun 16, 2004, 08:54:07 PM »

well what do u think i should be looking for or i guess listening for if it is the rin and pinion or spider gears?

Hyena · « **Reply #9 on:** Jun 16, 2004, 09:29:45 PM »

I would think it could be something in the hubs if it does it in 2wd also. I am just thinking though and that's not good at times. Do you have a front locker?

BigMike · « **Reply #10 on:** Jun 16, 2004, 09:35:21 PM »

Remove your rear driveline, put the front up on jack stands, pull your e-brake, fire it up, and let it idle in 4WD high 1st gear or so with both hubs locked.

You could shift it into Low and use first gear, and then while it is idling in 1st, use your hands and slowly stop on of the tires. The other will spin twice as fast, but doing this will stop the axle and you can see if the noise goes away. Do the same to the other side also. If the noise is still there both times, then its in your diff-

No he most assuredly does not have a locker. I may have a set of 4.10 stock 7.5" gears in the shed

Skinny_Pedal · « **Reply #12 on:** Jun 16, 2004, 09:48:53 PM »

prism i just hope it doesnt come to that. but ill be sure to do these things tomarrow and let u all know what is going on so u guys can all further help me because right now im

Prismo · « **Reply #13 on:** Jun 16, 2004, 09:53:38 PM »

Let me know if it is the gears & will look tommorow to see if I still have them. We are not leaving until Friday now.

Skinny_Pedal · « **Reply #14 on:** Jun 16, 2004, 10:04:31 PM »

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #16 on:** Jun 17, 2004, 02:22:04 AM »

, no wt- ifs stands for it flexes sweet. ill let it slide this time though ok. i was also late to class today so i couldnt get it on the lift, ill try tomarrow

Bazzi · « **Reply #20 on:** Jun 17, 2004, 05:04:35 PM »

sound to me that it is the ring or pinion. you could try to lock the hubs and move the wheel while moving if the sound is always the same it should be the ring or pinion.

yotaboy79 · « **Reply #21 on:** Jun 17, 2004, 08:54:04 PM »

sounds like we have the same kinda luck

good luck ill keep a look out for ifs gears

Skinny_Pedal · « **Reply #22 on:** Jun 17, 2004, 09:56:54 PM »

i got a guy that will sell me the front diff and cv axles for $150, but i still just want to know what it is.

Skinny_Pedal · « **Reply #23 on:** Jun 18, 2004, 08:29:19 PM »

ok well i got it on the lift today and you wouldn't believe it. it was the cover on the front driveshaft, the cpver that covers the u-joint. it had got pinched up and made that annoying noise. so its fixed and there are no worries. thnaks for all your inputs.
