Well... I've got the sammi back together... Didn't accomplish everything I was 'wanting' to do... But she drove around the yard, so I guess that's good enough for tomorrow!!
She definitely is making some 'new' sounds.. Which I don't particularly like, but hey... What's the worst that could happen? I break something?! Lol
One thing, I suspect, is my front square tube drive line seems to have more 'play' than before... But then again, I haven't exactly been nice to it... Probly just wear and tear... I'll replace it when it becomes an issue(other than clunky)...
Second thing... I think the locker in the rear is making unwanted noises... But... Fixing it means I don't wheel tomorrow... And we can't have that! Since owning the truck I haven't had unnecessary clunking in the rear... But after this third member/R&P swap... There's something not exactly right... I put it back together properly, and set the gear lash... But, when reassembled and on jack stands, it'd click when I tried moving a tire... Kinda like the hub gear was slipping on the cup it locks to...
Both tires could create the sound when spun forward or backward.. But in 2wd she still moves properly... And when in 4wd she still locks up properly... Just makes a LOT more noises than I'm used to...
So... Lets see if I can blow something up tomorrow!
When we meeting? And where? I'm in!
