The more I try to get this truck ready for our vacation...the more things I am finding. But...Had rather find them at home versus on the side of the road!
I have on a couple of occasions felt a minor shutter when gently accelerating from a stop. It only lasts a second or two. Today we took the camper out for its first tow (about a 60 mile run). When backing down our driveway very slowly I could hear and feel sort of a clunk or click. This was when we were just barely moving both going forward and reverse. To rule out the brakes I used the trailer brakes manually so I would not be on the truck brakes. The click/clunk was still there. After disconnecting the trailer I could not longer feel/hear this noise.
I started checking U-joints. At the transfer case rear output I found a couple of issues. There was just a tiny bit of movement in the U-joint. Then I noticed that the slip yoke was also moving up and down and I could feel slack. Not real happy about that! Does the slip yoke ride inside a bushing? If so, how difficult is this to change?
Also, any other guidance and suggestions regarding the shutter and click/clunk would be appreciated! Thanks!
