DRIVELINE VIRBRATION

[STEVE DONCHEZ]

HI LIST MEMBERS:
I HAVE A STOCK SYCLONE WITH 110,000 MILES. I HAVE A DRIVELINE VIBRATION BETWEEN 40-50 MPH. I HAVE THE TIRES BALANCED AND INSPECTED THE DRIVE SHAFT AND THE FRONT PROP SHAFT AND DIDN’T FEEL ANY PLAY IN THEM. THE ONLY PLAY I COULD FIND WAS IN THE FRONT OUTPUT SHAFT BEARING IN THE TRANSFER CASE. THE PLAY WAS VERY SLIGHT.
WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT? PULL THE FRONT PROP SHAFT AND ELIMINATE THE FRONT END? WILL IT HURT TO DRIVE WITH THE FRONT SHAFT OFF? CAN I CHANGE THE FRONT OUTPUT SHAFT BEARING WITH THE TRANSFER CASE IN THE TRUCK?
DOES ANYONE HAVE A PARTS BREAKDOWN OF THE TRANSFER CASE THEY CAN SEND ME?

THANKS
STEVE

You can drive it for a short time with the front propshaft out without hurting anything. Just use the parking brake so it can't roll when in park. I've heard of this happening.

Dear Sir, I have a very detailed post on driveline vibrations that I saved from here a while back. I can email it to you if you have Internet Explorer 5 or better (you probably do). It used to be at: http://www.syty.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?topic=5944&forum=2 but apparently old topics got deleted. Please feel free to email me - tookycat@nconnect.net
