chip truck;
tweaked the smoke puff limiter a tiny bit more.another 1/8 turn.she's right on the money now with 0% smoke under all conditions save for a light gray haze for a couple seconds when under load in OD before a downshift.real sweet now.just pure clean powerful moose performance.
u-joint failure! getting loud.thought it was my t-case (cus it leaks in the middle) so topped it up and thought that was it.but latter on the sound came back.looked and saw needle bearing sticking out.........oh great.
so got back to work,pulled the drive shaft.locked the hubs.loaded the truck.headed to the dump,then to lunch and the auto store to grab a rear driveshaft using front wheel drive.
had a local shop press in the joint,slid the shaft back in,unlocked the hubs,took her out of 4wd and was back to normal. so back to work again.
so with the scare of the t-case going bad due to a slow leak.i broke that down tonight after work (it's not going to be getting any warmer out,so i best get to it) and sealed that up finally so that's done.i'll top her up tomorrow and she should be ready for next week.
