so its the same problem before but now i need to try and fix it before winter.

i noticed this after i got my front diff and tcase fluid changed.
noise happens ONLY when accelerating.
Ujoints are fine, only play in drive shaft is rotational (see video below)
no delays switching to 4hi or 4 low inside the cab.

only things i noticed was from the front diff to the driverside axel this o ring was kinda popped out.



and the front driveshaft to the tcase the rubber guard? had a hole in it.

 

I dont think mine has that much play in it but ill check it out and let you know

 

Your front drive shaft is shot. I had the same issue a few months back. Try to search the net to found a front drive shaft which it has U-joints on both ends. It won't break it down as soon as the OE.

Sorry for my crappy english, I'm a french canadian.

 

The problem is that big hole. There is a cv joint inside that (instead of using a u-joint). The rubber boot keeps all dirt and debre out of it. If dirt gets in there it basically is being lubed with dirt instead of grease now and the cv joint is gone. You need a new driveshaft.

Napa has them for about $300, but if you can find a decent j-yard one you might be better off.

Good news being - it's easy to replace.

 

thanks park^^. haynes manual seems to be a pretty simple job.

 

There you go thunder finally figured out the problem lol

 

yea well, one more thing to check off my list thats been broken on this truck...
PCM, all new breaks, front drive shaft, and also i need new hubs.

if your doin it yourself this is what i liked and came up with on summit for all new brakes (hawk pads and slotted rotors) and i emailed them and the drum kit is for two wheels, one axle they said so...$388+shipping which compared to a shop is nothing http://www.summitracing.com/checkout/cart.aspx

 

well i already got brakes done, the calipers siezed on me on a 1200 mile road trip, got the rim so hot it started to melt my rim paint and ended up rounding off the lugnut.
