Drive line problems Tcase/?

[Lashcat]

I have a few problems. The first I am in the process of repairing. Last week end I started getting some noise in the Tcase. I pulled the front drive shaft and it stopped. Them I pulled the front out put on the t case and I have 2 bad bearings. My next problem is the t case will jump out of 4 low. Not good coming down or up a hill. The other problem in when I am comming down a hill it is like there is too much pressure building up in the drive line and the rear wheels lock up for a split second and them it truns loose and goes back to normal. It is kind like the back end wants to skip along when going down hill. I am not sure where to begin. The axle or the tcase. It drives fine on the highway. Any help or advise would be welcomed.

I would DEFINITELY start with the rear end. If that goes, even towing will be a BIATCH! Try grabbing the driveshaft at the diff yoke and see if it moves up and down. If it does, that's BAD! You can try pulling the driveshaft and tightening the nut, but I would recommend pulling the diff cover and having a look-see inside first. Run your finger thru the oil in the bottom of the axle housing to check for shavings [I hope you have callouses!}

Thanks. Iwill ad it to the list of things to do. I have the bearings to install and driveshaft. While I am down there I will give it a look.

for the rear axle, it sounds like your backlash is WAY off....swb has the right advice on that.

Sounds like you may be rebuilding that t-case soon too....

both problems are not something to ignore, since the added damage from the wear may mean total replacement, not just a rebuild.

Lashcat or anyone else in need:

I am just wrapping up a t-case rebuild from several donor cases and I got lots of parts left over if you need shafts, gears, housings, sleeves, etc. No bearings or seals--no good ones at least.

Thanks for the info. The bearings are taken care of. I will have to go and try it out aftre I check out the rear end. I want to see if it still jumps out of gear. I also plan to adjust the tcase shifter linkage.
