I know its been some time since I posted, but I have had some wierd issues you guys may find interesting. Last year I towed a frame down to FL for a guy and a slight vivration started when i was first taking off. It would go away as speed increased. As time went by the vibration woudl come and go. I thought somhow it must be a tire separating or a belt slipping so I had them pulled off and did road tests and balance. I did find them way out of balance. Better but still there.Finally one day it jeust became undrivable. I stopped at Mr. Tire and teh yroad in it and coulsn't believe how bad it was and were sure it was a tire as well. We jacked it up and looked under to find an amazing sight. the shaft at the 2 speed trans was wobbling. A closer look showed the bolt came out of the yoke and fell down into the universal cage. It then became bound in the opening of the joint without falling through.
I dropped the shaft. Put a new bolt in with blue Loctite and all is well again. It appears the old lock washer failed as it was completley flat.
A couple of weeks ago I was towing the horses to a rodeo up 94 and went to hit my brakes on teh other side of Cross Keys. Whoa!!!!!!
The brakes went almost to the floor. It did this for a fewe miles and then it was ok. Going home no problem. Next day same thing different spot. I pumped at tehm and they came back. It does have a rebuilt Master which is about 1-2 years old. Haven't had teh problem since. Any ideas?
