Been a while since I posted here guys. I started following the Facebook page more and the forum less but still think this is the best place to get an answer to the question you ask and not storries about their cousin's friend's brother's ex-girlfriend's grandpa's truck.
I have a factory turbo engine with a 4x4 ZF-5 in my 88. I have noticed a weird rattle/dry gear/dry bearing/dry chain kind of noise when I would be in 4th cruising with a constant speed and throttle and stay even with the clutch in slightly. Now it has moved up to very faint in 5th as well and only those two gears. I still have a DMF and am NOT changing to a SMF right now. The springs were tight and showed no real wear when I put the flywheel in. I don't believe I have signs of a bad dmf, no shaking at shut down, no chatter letting off the clutch, no imbalance sound at idle. I haven't noticed and leaks coming from the transmission or transfer case. The noise is coming from the transmission area of the truck. Do any of you guys have an idea?
