Hello,
I think that I'm having some problems that relate to the front differential. Whenever I put the truck into drive there is a loud clunk noise, this also happens when I go from drive to reverse, reverse to drive. Along with those problems I also seem to get a thunk noise when coming to a stop, almost feels like something is shifting/moving underneath the front of the truck.
I have read up on the clunk post, lubed the u joints and the slip yoke but that didn’t solve any of the problems. I even went ahead and had all the u joints replaced and still no fix. I recently read that having a thunk while changing from drive to reverse is a sign of the differential going out. I honestly know very little about differentials and have no idea how to diagnosis and fix a problem with them.
I guess my question is, does this sound like my front differential is toast or something else. If it is the differential what could I do? Tried searching the web and couldn’t find much on replacement differentials.
All advice and suggestions are greatly appreciate and thank you for your time.
