Ok....
Past couple of days ive been making my mud truck "road worthy" (or as road worthy as a 76 F250 can be). I took the big blocks out and installed some more sane 4 inchers with some 33in tires).
Anyways....
My ol lady has been running the F150 to work (i prefer it anyways with our wonderful road commision thats out here), so im without a 4x4, reason i decdided to do this.
Its a 76 F250 with a 390/4sp/D60 front axle (I believe).
Tonite on its first trial run in its new life i took it out and got it stuck at the end of the road (the didnt plow the whole thing, just the left and right portions).
I get out, lock the hubs in, throw the lever in and start on the gas. I crawl out of it but my front end hits the dry pavement and i hear this awful friggin noise. I get out and look and dont see anything visably broken so i unlock the hubs and proceed home.
Its a hard noise to explain, but its like a mix between a grinding and whirring noise....my 4wd still seems to work so i dont know if its a hub that is close to blowing....or something else?? It seems to not be so noticiable at 55mph....but its still there, you can hear it over the Glasspacked 390.
Help???
later,
Dustin
