hearing a loud grinding and popping that can be felt through the vehicle, like gear tooth was missing. Not real bad going straight gets bad while turning. U-joints seem to be good.Used a stethoscope to determine location with vehicle in gear on jack stands.
Can I remove the transfer case cover with out having to replace any seals?
Can I do all this in vehicle?
I want to check chain drive system or should I check my ring and pinion?
Correct me if I've missed anything.
1. Drain ATF from case
2. Remove rear drive line at rear u-joint
3. remove slip yoke housing
4. remove 8 bolts around case
Now I'm in the dark
5. open er' up?
If chain is damaged can I remove and replace later?
What other wear points should I look for?
Will I be able to inspect the shift fork pads from there?
Thank You
