93 f 350, zf 5, 7.3 non turbo, 4wd.
Had a helluva a day yesterday. Day started with the upper shock mount breaking on the front passenger side. Ended with banging in the driveline. Put the truck into low range to pull out a small dead spruce. Did so with no problem. few mins later I'm driving down the road and I start to hear a banging and I can feel it in the shifter. Noise got worse the longer I drove it (3 more miles). Looked underneath, u joints are good, nothing seems out of place. The noise is consistant, not rotational, but say every 5-10 seconds. Gear is irrelevant. Push in the clutch- problem goes away immediately.
Smells like clutch to me, but it never slipped before. The bushing in the clutch pedal linkage is worn out, I have a new bracket and linkage to install, just havent gotten there yet.
I changed all fluids last fall-truck only has 75k original mileage. The banging sounds like metal on metal, like someone hitting the frame with a sledge
Help please.
truck is a chip truck, so it has been abused with towing and weight in the chipbox. otherwise I baby it. Just got new axle seals front, all new pads, rotors, calipers, wheel cylinders, e brake cables, vacuum pump.
think I'm gonna need a tranny..anyone have advice on good zf5 for sale? preferably new
