Whole Drivetrain Effed up

Lenny95NeoN · 06-15-2005, 08:23 PM

Edit: [ I bought this truck used w/ about 60,000 miles on it]

Well after beating on the truck for about 40,000 miles in about a year and a half, and replacing the fuel pump, I decided to look under the truck to see what was up w/ this vibration, clunking, chirping around corners, ticking under accellerarion, and clacking/ clunking under deceleration.

I jacked the truck up and turned the right wheel. The left wheel went in the same direction, I heard noise near the right rear wheel, I saw debris fall from the rear U-Joint, and I noticed some paint flaking off the rear diff cover. I can shake the U-Joint by hand, as well as the rear wheels.

There seems to be a line, like something hit the inside of the cover on the rear diff, that is the only place paint is flaking. I started the truck and I hear a noise in the clutch unless I put my foot on the pedal.

Oh and in the tranny, I have no 3rd gear, and it sometimes wants to stay in 4th. I have to shift to 5th to get it outta 4th sometimes. and that taes a bit of force. If I try to go to 1st before shifting to 5th, it seems to lock the tranny like putting an auto in park.

All this said, I either need a whole new drivetrain, or I need to upgrade what I can when I can. First up Is the U-Joint, then the rear end and rear wheel bearings, then the clutch ,tranny and front U joint.

Umm any suggestions?
Does my list appear to be in order as far as importance? I am on a very strict budget. About $140 a week. Can U help me?

Sounds to me like you either have a locker rear, a spool, or a "Lincoln Locker" (spiders welded together. Also your U-joints are bad and need replacing.

Throwout bearing is probably what is rattling

Synchronizers are shot. Rebuild tranny or replace.

Rear could be ok if it's a spool or locker. Limited slip exhibiting the inside wheel chirp needs to be rebuilt. If spiders are welded up to make it a locker, replace. If you have a locker or spool and you don't want it, contact me, I may want to purchase it. You can then go out and get a good limited slip unit like Eaton or Auburn

Old rear end has been out for a while. I will be rebuilding it. I also replaced the rear U- joint.
I tried to post pics up of the old beat up 8.5 and the temporary 7.5 I put in, but it didn't work. Lesse if this one works.

Hole in 8.5 diff cover
