Just thought I'd update on the noise and vibration issue I've been having in my truck.
I believe it has been narrowed down to the front drive shaft. With the front shaft removed and the lever in 4 high, no noise when driving, (so I think that rules out the transfer), and with the lever in 2wd and the front hubs locked, no noise, (so I think that proves it isn't in the front axle), Put the front shaft back in, and there's the noise and the vibration...
There is a little play in the front Uni, and my mechanic had the shaft balance checked and it isn't balanced properly.
So next week I'm getting the front shaft reco'd new unis and a rebalance.
Weird thing is that the shaft has a balance weight and shows no evidence of losing any weights, so I guess it's just slowly gone out of balance over the last 22 years and needs a bit of TLC.
Hopefully once the shaft is overhauled it will be all good again :-)
