3-4 INCH t-case drop?1??!

and the linkage is still in it?! How much lift do you have on this piece?

 

3/4"

 

3/4" t case drop and between 3-4inchs of lift.

 

Lol

 

My bad. I completely misread that.

I don't think that t-case drop would cause a problem...

I'm stumped... I can't think of anything that would cause your symptoms.

 

It's cool. And yea that's where I'm at...lost. I also have no reverse lights...but correct me if I'm wrong, these don't have NSS cause they arnt aw4...right? I do get a humming noise out of the middle to front of the jeep..front drive shaft maybe? That or tcase... Just makes no sense to why I have 4x forward but not reverse...and I feel like if it was something with the reverse gear, I wouldn't have reverse at all...

 

if its a 4.0 automatic its got the aw4. which has a nss. can i suggest putting the jeep on jackstands all the way around and putting it in reverse in 4x4 and verifyling it that way.

 

Okay, yea il put it up on stands and check that out tomorrow, even tho if they do spin, it doesn't explain why they wouldn't with a load on them, I might go ahead and pull the nss and rebuild it too. Cause that should at least give me my reverse lights back (not a fuse or bulbs already checked twice).

 

Check your Trans mount!

 

How would that affect things?

 

Transmission lifts up under a load in reverse, this pushes and pulls on the t case linkage.

 

Il check the trans mount too I do get what feels like a drive line vib after 30-35mph

 

Only when I'm on the gas

 

Front pinion bearings are junk, there a nice little bit of play with the yoke/international shaft. Up, down, side to side, even back and forth when turned...trans mount is good as far as I can tell, can only lift the trans up maybe and 1/8th of an inch..

 

Picking up a new front axle tomorrow, problem solved. Figured it was cheaper then having it rebuilt. Anybody wants a hp30 to rebuild I have one for cheap. Pinion bearings and gear need replacement for sure, shafts and carrier are good.
