Heres my problems, got a bad noise coming from underneath, we think its the tcase, or it could be the front end, hopefully the front since i am gearing very soon. The noise happens when i am in 4wd, either with a rear shaft or w/o, but never happens when i am in 2wd. Gets worse when i have only front wheel drive. Kinda pops and grinds, hard to explain i guess, but it is pretty damn loud. I also seem to have a problem with axle wrap. The story to this is, the shims broke when i had the cry 8.25, which sheered the center pins off my leafs, they bent, and then my block slid almost out of the ubolts, and was sideways, at that point i had horrible axle wrap, the yoke on the 8.25 was hitting the exhaust, and it evenutally knocked one of the tits off the yoke on the 8.25 to where it would not hold a joint in it. At this point i swapped the 8.8 in, no shims, i put the pinion angle down 2 degrees from center'd, to allow for some wrap. We put new center pins in, and drilled and taped the block, and bolted it to my new m.o.r.e anti wrap spring perches. After this, i did not feel or hear any more wrap. My last run, i was coming out of river, climbing a sandy back, hard throtal and my yoke adapter broke (1310) style, which sent the t/w's shaft flying, and it bent the ears on the shaft. Drove it home, in front wheel drive from charleston. Thats when a lot of noises became more apparent. There where a few new one's as well as some old ones that became much louder. So i guess in all this i am trying to figure out what i need to do about the tcase, and to elimnate the wrap i am having to stop my problems. Here are some pics of the springs i took last weekend:
Oo, my rig is a 99, clayton 8 inch kit, rock krawler suspension, auto 4litre, 231 case with a sye. The front d30 has a lock rite in it, the rear 8.8 is open, gearing is stock 3:55.
