Busted something

Bamaprez · 03-11-2009, 04:00 PM

Truck made a bad noise when I put in 4x4 last night truck vibrated like a bad U-Joint or tire will moving. It took me about 15 min to get the hubs to unlock once I got them to unlock the truck drove fine. Now the t case will engage fine with no noise but the front will not pull. I'm hopping it a auto hub that gave out and not the front diff. Will keep you informed and maybe some cool pics. OBW its a 91 4.0 Auto with electic shift and auto hubs.

PS. 4.0 +auto+empty bed= no traction almost couldn't get it in the drive for the ice and snow.
