Well the mad scramble continues....the truck was driving like crap with the 4 degree shims I had under the front springs to make the CV driveshaft happier so I got my old Ujoint driveshaft retubed and I'm using that instead so I could take the shims out and get my caster back where it should be.
When I unbolted the Ubolts on the driver side, the welds for the spring perch onto the cast part of the housing had failed and the perch was just floating in there.
Thanks Brent for welding that up for me yesterday!
Shims are out, new ubolts installed and torqued and the truck drives much better on the road now.
I think I also found where all the gear oil was leaking out of the Tcase....4x4 sensor was just finger tight and oil was coming out of the hole. Tightened that up and cleaned all the sludge off my skidplate....
Changed oil.
Now my clutch is starting to slip (UGH!). I don't have time to deal with that. Truck goes into the shop this afternoon for a new clutch and will get a coolant flush while I'm at it.
Run just got kinda expensive.....
