Transfercase?? I was having trouble getting my truck into 4wd. It goes into 4wd on a lift (all 4 wheels off the ground) but, on the street/dirt/gravel I would go a few feet and hear a pop/clang. The shop said the transfer case chain is slipping.How does that sound to you fellas? Please post your opinion if you agree then please explain how this failure causes this to happen (pop) on the ground but, work on a lift?

 

get another opioin and get both quotes

 

Does that symptom sounds right for a transcase problem? the pop clang? and it will go into 4wd just fine with the wheels off the ground.

 

i myself had transfer case problems, craked case, if it goes into 4x4 in the air why not the ground? hmmm...

 

shop said unloaded kept it from slipping. I still dont get it. I dont picture that chain slipping very easily.

 

hmmm... i cant picture that chain slipping easily either

 

would the lever being out of adj make it pop like that?

 

bump for any new ideas?

 

I've seen a few front drive shaft yokes where the splines were stripped. new yoke on the transfercase fixed it up.

How are your tires? Are they all the same size, brand? How about tread wear, is it even on all tires? The 4wd system on these trucks doesn't allow forANY ratio difference front to back, that's why they don't recommend engaging on dry pavement
