Hi folks,
I'm new to the forum and this is my first post. Awesome to see an entire forum dedicated to rangers!
I’ve got a 2008 Sport 4x4 with a 4.0L manual with just under 200k km. Had it about 4 years. Love it. Everything is stock. Currently pulling the tranny to replace the clutch for its first time. When I pulled the transfer case I noticed a couple of things on the rear shaft output that I was hoping to get some feedback on:
1. Turning it feels/sounds rough, and
2. There’s a bit of a knock on first turn. Pretty sure I've heard this noise sometimes on first drive.
Curious if these sounds are normal or if I should be fixing something while I have it out?
I’ve since drained the fluid - it was very dirty and not overly viscus.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
Here's a video of the noises:
