Well I think something is headed south in my trans. I went a little over a week ago to the Simpson County KY pull and won the 2500/SRW 3500 class.
Next week trans starts making noise 1/2 way to work or home (little less than 20 miles). Sounds like something smacking up against the shifter at first...but I checked the floor and nothings rubbing anywhere...sounds like its come from the trans. Well once the trans gets good and hot....almost before I get to work or all the way home it starts making a binding noise?
Today I pulled the PTO covers on both sides and spun the drive-line to check for any damaged gears. I could not see any damage at all?!
Well after calling Cousin Billy @ BRC Diesel I decided to pull the driveshaft and check the snap ring on the back of the Transfer case. Well...the snap ring was fine...but I over stretched/bent it trying to put it back on. So now my truck has gone from making noise's to being down till I can get another snap ring on Monday. :banghead:
Anybody had any experience like this? I know its hard to diagnose from just trying to explain it, but I'm hoping somebody has some suggetions of any time. Right now.....its not looking good.
