My x-fer case is clunking!! HELP!
Hi Guys, it's been a while since I've been able to visit DOC, work has been very demanding lately.
Anyway, I took my daughter four wheeling last weekend out to a off road park here in Cali. To have fun with her, and to see how the D would handle the dirt and small hills this place had. This is the first time my D has been in 4hi since I bought her little over a year ago, I was having flashbacks of the fun times I used to have with my 72' power wagon muddin, climbing pretty much whatever I threw in front of it.
My intention was to be a lot more kind to the D as it's not a $200 power wagon, it's my daily driver. So we get to the park and enter into the dirt/sandy hilly etc. I switched the selector to 4hi and the light on the switch glowed steady. Ready to go right? Wrong!! This god awful gear stripping broken teeth clanking noise was coming from under big earl (come on, you know you have a name for your D too) so the trip was cut short! Put her back into 2wd and the noise goes away.
When we got home, I put it up on jack stands at all four corners to see if I could duplicate this horrid sound. When it's in 4hi, at an idle, in drive, all wheels roll. When I step on the brake, the popping, clanking sound rears its ugly head! I had my wife get into earl and do it again and the sound is definitely coming from the x-fer case.
Does somebody have an exploded view of a x-fer case I could look at? Any and all input or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all in advance!! Ron
