hey guys i just had the chance to drive truck again since panama and i have noticed a slight growl coming from rear end i think ... i did take it to the drag strip and in one run i had some axle hop at one launch .. any ideas what it is ?
 
like a low pitched growling noise and rpms are consistant even when i put trans in nuetral at a roll
 
Check the universal joints, be sure that there is no slack...

why are they called universal joints, when they are vehicle specific
:dontknow: :dontknow: :dontknow: :dontknow: :marchmellow:
 
Universal as in various direction capability as opposed to a joint that only goes one way. Elbow goes one way...shoulder joint is much more flexible unless it is in an old fart like me...
 
thanks guys for the input ,, i will check , may have something to do with axle flexing more when i removed overload spring from bottom to top :dontknow:
 
does anyone have a how-to on removing and installing the spider gears? Also where people have gone to get them cryo'd. I looked at this company in nebraska. but i want someone that people have already used and have good things to say with service and quality.
