Good Morning All!
I posted this in a different forum and I received a few suggestions - but they didnt seem to pan out.... Just looking for advice or any suggestions at all!
I purchased my 94 Supercab about a month ago. Overall, until now, I have been able to take care of all of the small things that have come up. I am quite mechanically inclined but yesterday I came across an issue and I have NO CLUE what it is or where to start!!
The truck is a 93 4x4, 4.0 with 135K on the truck and Trans, 35K on the engine and clutch. (5 Speed)
Has a 5 Inch suspension lift and 265/75/ 16's on it.
The Auto hubs have been replaced with manual WARN Hubs
Truck runs like a CHAMP without Question - and I have briefly tried out the 4x4 system a few times with no problems.... Until yesterday
It snowed yesterday so I locked the hubs before I got in the truck to go home from work. While on my way home, it got a little slick so I pushed the 4x4 button on the dash. The 4x4 engaged and all seemed fine until I started to hear a VERY ODD noise from the front of the truck - While driving it sounded a bit like a Rotor being turned on a Lathe!
So I Pushed the button on the dash and turned off the 4x4 (while going about 30) and the noise stopped......
The noise SEEMS to have been coming from the front of the truck and not behind the Driver seat (where I believe the transfer case to be).
I have been under the truck a few times and have not noticed ANY leaks from the front diff or really anywhere.
ANY ADVICE or any ideas would br gratefully appreciated at this point!!!!
THANKS ALL!!!
Steve
