Hi all,
I'm looking for opinions on what might be causing a very strange sound in the 80's driveline.
It only happens in reverse when there is considerable resistance against the tires from either snow, thick mud or rocks. It does not happen when there is no resistance on the drivetrain and does not happen in "drive".
When I step on the gas in reverse, there is a loud howling sound coming from the rear? of the vehicle. It sounds like I'm running over Big Foot's toe and he's hollering about it. Sorry, can't think of a better example becasue I've never heard anything like it. I do feel a vibration in the chassis when the sound is happening and it feels like something is slipping.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
