Hey Guys!
Haven't been here in a long time.................work and such.
Problem: 84 Ranger 4x4 2.8v6 with toyo kyogo 5spd, have a rumbling, almost grinding sound when decelerating in 1st and 2nd at low speeds, give it gas sound goes away, push the clutch in it decreases but does not go away completely. Throwout bearing is not overly noisy idling in neutral and trans shifts and performs well..............Just this damn annoying rumble at real low speeds, hiway speeds are great no noise at all. Have put all 4 up in the air and even engaged 4x4, but it does not seem to make the noise with it up on jackstands..........................Any ideas?

Ditto. Check the u-joints. Same happened to me and the front one was seizing up. Course replace in pairs.

Yeah, forgot to say, U - joints are good no trouble there. Rear axle is quiet too.
