Hi Guys, Happy Thanksgiving.
Drove the D to the farm about 90 miles north of where we live. Wife was driving, I was sleeping. When she pulled off the interstate exit ramp there was a noise I haven't heard before. Noise and vibration. We pulled out from a dead stop and it sounded and felt like the rear tires were on rumble strips.
I don't think there are rumble strips. Drove a few more miles and almost every time we started from a dead stop the same thing happened. Not as loud or strong but it was there.
At the house I drove it up and down a side road and it happened again. Not all the time but it was there.
I also noticed a cunk noise in reverse. It sounded llike it was happening once every wheel revolution.
We checked the tranny fluid and found it down about a pint. Put some in and it still seemed to be down the same amount. I haven't noticed anything dripping recenlty and the fluid was at the normal mark a couple of weeks ago.
FYI it's a98 D with the 5.2 aand both full and part time 4WD.
Any Ideas?
Thanks. We have to drive back home tonight? thinking about going out to see if we can find some tranny fluid.
