when im cruising in 4th or 5th and i let off the gas there is a knock or a clank. it does the same thing if you get back on the gas. i dont think i can describe it any better than that. it feels like its coming from the rear but i guess it may be anywhere in there. my thoughts are tranny mount or maybe dif mount.

Shane.Trammell 01-19-2005 04:21 PM

let me add that there is only one clank when getting off the gas and one when getting back on it. it sounds like something is loose, or that there is play or slack in something that there shouldnt be play or slack in

yah drive shaft. also maybe tighten the bolts between the diff and the axle housing, they loosen up

check the u joints in the drive shaft

treceb 01-20-2005 02:12 PM

is there a problem? am i gonna have to flex my moderator muscle on you two?lol

Shane.Trammell 01-20-2005 02:24 PM

ooo, you can flex your muscle on me... it sounds like the u joints but there isnt vibration so thats prob not it. good thing too bc i just spent $200 replacing the verts u joints

treceb 01-20-2005 02:44 PM

i had no vibration, that i could tell, but did have u joints with play. unfortunately theyre not replaceable...

ok ill check em out and that will probably be the problem, luckily we have a place here in town that has the machinery to cut them and replace the ends with ones that have replaceable joints, theyre laser balanced of course.

your talking about WC supply right?



i think they are the ones who did that for me, i wish i could hear the knock, it may be similar to what happened to me with my u-joints
