The Awesomeness of Today:
Well we seemed to do more beer drinking and pizza chowing than wrenching. I dropped the driveshafts before the guys showed up. Decided to drain the xfer case to see how bad it was. Almost no fluid came out and it was very thick. I thought this odd since the xfer seemed to be what was binding everything up.
Shumate showed up and wrestled the stripped fill plug off the xfer case. I refilled the xfer with gear oil. Then Sean, Randy, Chris and Jeff showed up.
Not realizing that all I needed was new fluid for the repair, we jacked up the front and spun the tires. The Lockrite clacked away. The front had 4.11's
Thinking the gearing might be off in the rear, we jacked that up and rotated it. The rear only spun around 2 times for one tire rotation. Nobody could figure that one out. Any ideas?? It is odd though that it rotated exactly half as much as the front diff did.
We bolted the driveshafts back on and took it for a quick spin. Problem seems to be solved. Fingers crossed, Luckily no transmission replacement!

more pics from Randy as we had nothing to reall take pics of.
I am very happy to get my truck moving again as I have 3 weeks worth of garbage in my garage since the dump sticker is on the Pumpkin.
(seat pics are needed by Shumate, too lazy to email them)

you have a lockrite in the front? It had 4.11s so what does it have now? The rear spun around 2 times for one tire rotation? what does that mean?
I'm assuming this has a part time system, did you put it in 4 wheel drive and lock the hubs on the test drive?
How much fluid was in the trany? Is the fluid migrating forward and leaving the Tcase dry?

Lockrite up front with 4.11s. When we jacked the rear end up and spun the tires, the rear differential rotated only 2 times. When we did it on the front wheels, the front diff rotated 4.11 times.
I did test drive it both in 4wd and 2wd with no more noise. Randy might be able to explain it better. There were 6 of us there an none of us could figure out exactly what is in the rear end

tranny shifts fine so perhaps it is migrating
well of course the rear rotated half as many, it's an open diff, correct?
How much fluid came out of the trany though? you wouldnt know it had a problem till the cabin smells like gear lube when its coming out the top shifter tower.

Yes. Wish you were there yesterday!!

Not sure. Didn't drain the tranny
But if the other tire remained still shouldn't the power go the the one with no traction. Hence rotating at the 4.11 turns of the driveshaft?
We held the drivers side tire still while rotating the passenger side wheel. The pinion flange only rotated 2 times.
yes but if you rotated both tires in unison, as if locked, then the flange would have rotated 4.10 times, I don't think Toyota makes 4.11s but maybe on that old stuff.

4.11s were standard issue in AU
x2 on what wildman is saying.. check the tranny.. cuz if it's sucking the tcase dry it will be over full.. i had the same problem and when i took the fill plug off to check the trans fluid oil came gushing out the fill hole..
i "fixed" it with one of these situations.. MAF Oil Return Kit Transmission Transfer Case
