connection between loose front drive shaft and grinding in 4wd?
recently and progressively worse, when i put my np242 into either part time, or full time 4wd there is a noise like grinding metal or something of that nature. its only under acceleration that this noise occurs and as of right now i dont think it does this in 4low. but, as i stated its been steadily getting worse. i havent checked anything yet... no time, no lift, and a mechanic who needs to get his **** together have left me with the following list:
-I checked the front shaft and it has gotten more play in it than a few months ago. it now has between 1/8 to 1/4 inch play.
-I havent checked the TC fluid (hopefully tomorrow)
-I havent checked the TC cable, as i have heard a few people talk of now they can get loose and cause issues like this.
-The tranny fluid is good, the oil is good. however... i have haad this really frustrating hesitation/bucking/backfiring/sputtering issue. i replaced a bunch of stuff in what turned out to be a vain attempt to fix it. the prob went away for a while and will randomly and quite frequently happen again. if you have suggestion on this one i will provide a list of the items replaced/checked. so, what am i missing? any suggestions? thanks.
