What did you do with your truck/shop today

kstruckcountry · July 10, 2014

I switched back to 87 for a while and couldn't stand it. It felt like I was missing something. I'll have a good trip in a while and see if it'll still break 18 mpg. All the short 10 minute drives get me 14.

That's no good. Sorry to hear that Chris.

On another note, I swapped out my tcase for fun today. Thinking that bearing noise was coming from my output shaft bearing I swapped in my old tcase which was fine before I yanked it for no apparent reason. Well, the noise is either coming from the transmission or rear end. Please don't let it be the transmission

It is not rpm related but speed related. You can hear it at about 55+ gets real bad around 70-80. Not sure how it can only be speed related cause I held it in second gear at the general rpm and it didn't make the noise. Damn this sucks...

what you're talking about happened to ethan on his yukon and on his way up here memorial his transmission blew it was the output shaft... chunks of metal blew all over the inside of the trans into the pump everything.. even a chunk of the trans shell busted off... get under there and check that trans asap.

Its covered under warranty, I'll let them deal with it if it blows up. Just, it will blow when I need it the most lol. I just had the transfer case off, didn't really think to check the output shaft. I looked at it when I cleaned off the old gasket, but I didn't really inspect it. Really not up for the task of yanking that thing again.

Was his truck echoing it through the driveshaft, making it hard to pinpoint the noise? Cause like everyone knows, Ive basically replaced the entire drivetrain in the past 4 months so I didn't even think that it would be something to do with the transmission, ughhh

Wouldn't be surprised if it was the trans. I've seen a couple rebuilds go wrong not long after.

Yea same type of sound we thought it was the rear end too then he got on the highway doing 65 and boom no gears

You and your auto luck....Stay at least 10 feet from my vehicles at all times.

Another issue? Please just get rid of the truck already!

Find a clean low mileage example and enjoy it.

I'm looking man! And as long as stuff is covered under warranty I'll do the work. My labor is free and it's only $50 in fluids.

They say you can race on this transmission and not void warranty. The thing will chirp 35" tires pulling into second gear. I have a feeling that is part of the problem

Drive it like you stole it so you can get the work done already.
