Clicking?

Idiots, every one of you.

Odviously the problems lies in the piston return springs. They're majorly out of balance. Have them removed, balanced, blueprinted, and re-installed. Make sure to use lots of the red locktite.
 
I see some of your points.

But I still think it's old air. It's the quickest thing to check. If it was my rig, I'd start with replacing the air, then check the muffler bearings. If it's neither one of these, it would have to be the piston return springs.

But why tear into your pistons first?
Besides...I'm out of locktite :mad:

use Helium! : :doh:
 
Doug may be on to something. I use CO2 and change it out frequently with air-down, air-up cycles every time we go wheeling.

Josh,
Do you use CO2 or regular air?

-B-

You hit the nail on the head e, Helium is the definate ticket. Been running it in my rig for a while now, and it rides better and is able to get over bigger obstacles due to the extra lift the helium gives to the entire truck. :flipoff2:

So if I use Helium can I run 315's wo a lift? Or are those just for looks? :D :flipoff2:

So I guess we can be assured of the fact that this clicking sound wasn't the proverbial "light bulb" coming on for him? Or if it was it clicked right back off :rolleyes: ...what's a boy to do? :flipoff2:
 
Thanks for the advice. I agree with the air in tires thing. I think that might be it. I will try it. I took it out for a spin to go to my georgia cruisers meeting and I pinpointed the noise on the driver side under the floorboard around the area of the pedals under there. It could be on the other side too but i only heard it there.
 
I'll answer you. Does it do it when it is cold, or when the truck first starts up? Mine was clicking like that a few months ago, and a lot of people thought it was the birfs. Does it feel like a popping underneath the pedals? Pretty Loud? I suctioned out some of the dirty PS fluid, and replaced with some clean, turn the wheels lock to lock and hold it for a few seconds at full lock, then do the same in the other direction for a few seconds. It made my popping go away.
 
When my rig starts clicking, that's when I know it's time to change the flux capacitor. I never thought about the muffler bearings though. I'll have to check that next time.
 
Well, I'll throw you a bone. There have been several people who have experienced the body mounting bolts loosening over time and causing some noise. When you accelerate or brake the body shifts on these loose mounts. Not sure if the noise description is right but the location is dead on.

Maybe there has been enough warrented ball breaking for others with more info to chime in. But I wouldn't hold my breath.
 
Just curious, does the clicking sound come on and off as you're turning? Does it seem to be realated to a light on the dash that is blinking? :flipoff2:

that's because the air in the DS tire is more susceptible to getting old in the Northern hemisphere (the Coriolis effect if you want to be technical :rolleyes: ). Amazingly enough, though, -and this is strong evidence of the intervention of a supernatural being in creation, according to some- in Australia, the effect is opposite but then the DS is on the opposite side, so it cancels out and comes out the same: clicking in the air on the DS. Could never figure this one out... :whoops:
