Disconnect the shaft from the diff and see if its in the pinion. Or put old shaft back in and see if it does the same.

Considering the damage the previous driveshaft received it would not be out of the question.

 

[Silverback]

Yep, e-locker is fragile.

 

[tx_shooter]

Any 3rd member pinion is fragile at that potential beating.

 

[bakerla]

Thanks. I'll see what's up. I trashed the old shaft yesterday. Didn't care to keep it around for anything.

 

[Silverback]

I think its your 3rd member. I've heard that before and that is my bet.

 

[bakerla]

That ping sound radiates up the shaft I guess. It sounds closer to the transfer case..

 

[Silverback]

You can't judge by that. My money is still on the 3rd member.

 

[bakerla]

Gears aren't my deal...I've already got a local shop in mind to check it out.

I had that clunk and later (days) it exploded going at 75 going down the highway. It could be something different, there is always that. But I recall the noise.

 

[Silverback]

And when it blew up I had it rollback hauled to the house.. put it in the garage. I replaced that e-locker housing for an 8.4 and threw in an ARB.

I had back surgery about 6 weeks prior and swapped out axle housings and 3rds.. it was a delicate process.. my Dr would not have approved.

Is that a single piece shaft? Mine made that on occasion too, it was the driveshaft contacting the old carrier bearing mount. I had to trim that mount back to keep from interfering.

It is. I briefly looked at that, but didn't fully check. Figured since it wasn't happening on day 1 it might not be it.

That's not the issue. Plenty of room there.

So...turned out the bolts at the transfer case weren't tight. They came loose a bit and since my transfer case skid plate was on I got lazy and didn't check those bolts and only checked the ones at the diff. My threadlocker and tightening job sucked. I found the time and made the effort to pull the skid plate this weekend and check. Kind of embarrassing really, but it's all good now.

Got my Tom Woods DS to install tomorrow and to diagnose a P0174 code.

The CEL has been resolved by changing the air fuel ratio sensor on the driver side. The sensor itself was easy to reach, but the wiring clip was a bit tricky.

Shit happens. Glad you got it figured out.

Glad it was a cheap and easy fix. Not something like going back into the transmission because you forgot something.
