more problems

[BLACKDOG]

well, the curse is back.
Just when i was thinking everythuing was going to be running again, something else breaks    This time i think it is the transmission, i really hope it isnt.  In first it is fine, but when i am in second or higher, and i give my truck gas, there is a vibration of some sort.  it is only when i push on the gas, and it speeds up with higher rpms.  however, there is no preformance suffering, so i am not sure what it is

probably tranny but check to see if your driveline bolts are loose

[Skinny_Pedal]

ujoint. i have driven on broken ujoints for a couple hundred miles thinking my tranny was funked up.

[BLACKDOG]

why wouldnt it do that under coasting condition? why is it only under power?  I really hope you are right 

[Skinny_Pedal]

when mine was busted and coasted the truck rattled.  i would give it gas and it would shake a little and it would be hard to shift. 1st wasnt bad just all the other gears. im betting u just have a busted u joint

[BLACKDOG]

that sounds exactly like what exactly is happening.  THanks 86
Have a beer or three on me and a turtle point
   

[SWAMPER]

go check you bum

[BLACKDOG]

its dark, and i already burnt out my spotlight earlier from working on my diff in the dark.    but i will in the morning, and mabye get the part tommorow afternoon, seeing as it is just a broken u joint (thinking positively)

[SWAMPER]

If it is the U-joint which one will you get...try and get a HD type I have Bruteforce HD U-Joints and I am very happy with them...after I had them for around a year a popular 4x4 magazine did a write up on the 10  best aftermarked u joints and BF Hd joints were on there...not bad for around 12 bucks a pop at Autozone

[FATB0Y]

I had an 82 Datsumbit*h w/   a spool in the rear  it would bust a u joint every 310-325 miles you could set your trip odometer and it was just like it knew how many miles was on it and it would start vibrating had to keep a spare in the glove box. But I did get where I could change one in under 10 min. 8) BTW BD do ya have a pic of your new spotter w/o your mug covering her up? 

[DontStall Rockcrwl]

sounds like the exact problem i have. i was told it was my driveline angle because its only happening after i installed my dual t-cases. but maybe it is the u-joints?? its only when i give it hard gas and coasting, but when i give it little gas the noise doesnt occur..

[BLACKDOG]

sounds pretty much like that is the problem.  I did crawl under the truck before i wentto work todaY, and i didnnt find a whole lot, although the ujoint at the front of the rear drive line doesnt look quite right to me.  Had a bunch of crap all over it too, so i didnt get a good look at it

BTw :03hdfatboy, i do indeed have more pictures of my spotter, check out MY avitar, not hers.  thought this was a truck forum though?  what, do we need to start a girlfriend/significant other thread? I'll leave that one up to you 

[brainlessfool]

check the out put flange on the transfrecase too. matbe the nuts loose. 

[BLACKDOG]

thanks BF, I'll take back all those horribel, terrible, dirty, no good, rotten, mean things I said about you

[yotaboy79]

if none of that stuff is bad drain the oil in the tranny and t-case and check for metal shavings or in my experiance gearteath and ball bearings  

[FATB0Y]

BTw :03hdfatboy, i do indeed have more pictures of my spotter, check out MY avitar, not hers.

But its so tiny and I'm old and can't see

[BLACKDOG]

well, if you are so old, i dunno if i want you oggling my 19 year old girlfriend  

ya old fart 

[FATB0Y]

  I'm not THAT old. But my oldest kid will be 19 in June

[kyle_22r]

i had the same symptoms but it ended up being my pinion gear blowing up.  had a good vibration and a lot of banging coming out of the rear diff

[BLACKDOG]

yeah, that is kinda what ruger and i have narrowed it down to.  we had the rear up on a jack, and the front braced against a curb, and it was vibrating like crazy    it was pretty cool, going about 25-30 with moving.  were taking it apart tommorow, so we'll see what is going on

[FATB0Y]

  Good Luck

did u just look at it or did u actually shacke the dline to c if the ujoint is funked. usually the bearing crack

[BLACKDOG]

we shook it, it really seems to be the rear end    but we will find out tommorow for sure

[FATB0Y]

  good luck

[BLACKDOG]

Diagnosis?  Pinion Gear started spitting teeth.  Hopefully the detroit is ok, gotta get the work done this week.

[FATB0Y]

  sorry 2 here that

[BLACKDOG]

yeah, me too.  Oh well, it happens, life goes on.  I now have a complete front end, and a rear third laying on the deck of my apartment complex.  I have a trashbag wrapped around the rear end, and I am driving my parents car   a burgandy chrysler cirrus.  I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO WHILE I AM DRIVNG!!!  I almost threw myself through the windsheild when i tried to hit the clutch, (auto) and nailed the left side of the brake petal.
hopefully I can get my third rebuilt tommorow or tuesday, so i can drive my truck again. 

[SWAMPER]

I hate driving cars...specialy at night when theres a truck behind you the headlights hit you on the rear view mirror and blind the living smokes out of you
