I went out offroading yesterday. Things were going great, I was actually following the same trails I had done last time I was out.
I'm driving slow in 4hi with CDL engaged. The trail has some pretty sharp curves, around one of them I hear a large popping metallic noise . Seems to be coming from the front somewhere. My first idea is its the CDL binding the drivelines. I make it to a straight section turn it off, drive forward then backwards to try to undo the binding. That works temporarily.
Up next is a climb up a hill. As I get to the top of the hill there is a turn. It starts happening again, but this time i hear several noises in quick repetition, seeming to be proportional with acclerator pressure I thinking I'm not gonna make it out at all now!
Well after a while I get the courage to try again slowly. I eventually get the truck back to park entrance. I notice the problem happens when I turn to either side. In a straight line it clunks but I was able to make it home (150 miles).
I was running a video camara the whole time so i'll post up some video with sound so you can hear , the horrible sounds it was making, almost sounds like a .22 was being fired next to the camara. You can also see how the whole vehicle is jerked by the sudden impact of the problem.
After 1st I thought it was the "Front Diff Breakage" problem but after talking to my neighbor and reading some threads I'm leaning towards a CV issue. Ill be taking it to Toyota on Monday.
