Crawled underneath today to take a look and that bracket looks like it's got about the same amount of rust as everything around it, and is riveted to the cab. I expect that Ford did actually put it there. I could potentially shorten or remove it, I suppose. Except...
Been diving through other...
Interesting. It's raining now, but once it dries out I'll go see if that bracket is designed to come out.
PO did not mention anything about the T-case other than it was supposed to have worked. He only put 100 miles on the rebuilt transmission before he had an electrical problem with the...
Just spent some time underneath just looking around, and I did notice that the bolts holding the transfer case to the crossmember were loose. Wish I could get 4x4 working in this truck so I could just pull the rear driveshaft and make it home when it throws the next carrier bearing out.
AFAIK I read through every relevant driveshaft threads that came up in a handful of searches before even posting this thread, because I hadn't been successful in finding anything about the problem I'm having. Everyone seems to just have loud carrier bearings or a vibration issue at speed...
Okay, so it seems like we've established that my truck has the correct transmission, correct transfer case, and the drive shaft is equipped with the proper pieces, but any idea on how I find out if my driveshaft is too long for the truck?
I had it serviced by a highly specialized driveline shop and when I asked the guy if there were any issues with any of the slip areas, he said that it was slightly gummy before it went in the parts cleaner but that everything looked to be in good condition.
That what seems like is happening but yeah, I'm not sure why, is it possible that the Tcase is building pressure somehow, even though no fluid came out when the driveshaft came out of the truck?
And finally, a diagram with probably pretty rough measurements of the driveshaft layout.
As mentioned by someone above, it does kind of look like the slip yoke is sticking out the back of the transfer case about as far as the carrier bearing is sitting out of its holder. Something feels too...
Regular d is definitely in D with the OD off button selected in this truck, but will still post pictures when I get out there later.
Appreciate all the replies so far!
Will post current and many photos later today when I get where I'm going, but dug through my photos on my phone and found this of the odometer/shift selector. Still digging to see if I can find one of the transmission proper, but it's got the selector for the C6.
I'll be back out at the property it's at tomorrow and can get more information and photos about the truck itself, as well as get measurements on the driveshaft.
It's an extended cab long box, so it's got quite the drive shaft underneath her!
I did find this picture, and I *think* this is a...
Alright, long time listener, first time caller.
I bought this truck coming up on a year ago, and haven't gotten to drive it much, I keep finding myself fixing one problem, and then the next undriveable problem pops up.
Current issue, my rear driveshaft keeps immediately popping out of...
