Loose Transfer case??
Well I was finally able to get out into the garage today to look at the truck. Finger is healing up good and Classes dont start till 5:30.. anyway... I have had a driveline vibration for sometime now and havent been able to pin-point on were it was coming from.. I checked the driveshaft for any play looking for bad ujoint and there was a little bit of play in the rear ujoint at the axle but not enough to cause this bad of a vibration/noise... When I pushed up on the driveshaft I notice that my transfer case is moving ALOT!!!!
I replaced the transfer case 3 times since owning this truck and never had an issue like this. When installing them I always used the red loctite and have never had them break loose. Actually pulled the studs from the tranfer case the last time it was replaced trying to remove the nuts.. BUT today I came to realize that every single nut was loose on the studs allowing the transfer case to not be seated against the transmisson fully.. I used red loctite when installing the nuts and checked them after about 300 miles and re-tightned if needed. Now all of a sudden they were all loose??? What gives?!!
I did remove the nuts and clean the studs and threads good and replaced them all with more loctite and will be checking it every 100 miles or so.. I just want to know why in the hell this happend??
