Thanks again, I plan to do some research on parts and figure out a time when we can tear down and rebuild.

I agree the front end rebuild would be a good father son gig. Does anyone have any experience with popping a used diff in from say Cruisers.net. I see you can get one for around $600.00. Any ballpark figures on a rebuild to differential with a good mechanic?

Ok, removed the front shaft and test drove. 25 to 50 MPH, no noise or abnormal vibration from the front end. We have not removed drive plates. Based on test drive, not sure that we need too? Can we rule out everything outside of the front differential case at this point? CDL is locked...

alright, thanks guys appreciate the help.

Ok, popped both dust caps and neither the right or left stub end of shaft is turning when we engage the transmission. The sound is really a heavy grinding of marbles. If I have understood the comments so far, my next move is to detach the front drive shaft, fool the cdl into lock position and...

Got it, thanks CJF, if it is not Spinning = stripped drive flange, then do I still need to remove the drive plate to get her on the road temporarily? Or is it just drop the drive shaft?

Ok thanks, plan to do a little more diagnostic under the truck later this evening to see if I can verify the noise is coming from the front differential flange area then lock center diff, remove front drive axle, remove the drive plates and get the truck on the road until I can spend some more...

Ok appears the noise was right in the differential where the front drive shaft bolts up to the flange coming out of the front differential. Not sure I follow the bit about removing the drive plates, does that then let the wheels roll free of the axle? Is that as painless as the front axle...

Ok, got the call from my son yesterday afternoon driving the 94 LC. Dad the truck is making a horrible noise, happened when I made a turn, just pulled over and it is really a bad grinding noise when I put in drive. He was able to limp home idling as he was roughly a mile from the house. He...

thx for the input. yeah, I like the sound of the FSM. I contacted cruisers.net and got a second MAF sensor that appears to have solved the problem. thx again for all input.

thx for the input, big help, will toy with that a bit and see what I come up with. I do have the haynes manual. My intake hose had some cracks in it at both sides and I have used some flexible tape to reseal. Does anyone know if the Mass Air Flow Meter can be cleaned?

Trouble with Air Flow Meter? After a full rebuild on the top end of my 94 LC, I am now experiencing what is believed to be a air Flow Meter failure. At initial cold start, the car will not idle unless I feather the gas until it warms up then it idles well. I had a local shop put his...

thx for feedback, seems to be holding up ok over past few days. I did track down a new air flow assembly through cruisers.net. if not related will hold for spare. again, appreciate the input.

Got it, is it necessary to try and chase the root cause of that fuse failure, does it have any relationship to the Mass Air flow unit? thx.

Ok, after a month out of state, I returned to repair a no start issue on my 94LC. Turns out that I had overlooked a 15Amp EFI fuse when running through all the ign diagnostics per manual. Not sure how EFI and no spark relate but in addition I have a code "24" on a diagnostic. CEL on. The...
