I have had this low gear noise for the past year First thought maybe the Clutch Throw out bearing as I have replaced it twice since the Clutch was installed a few years back. But it usually started as a chirping sound.
Then I was thinking maybe the input Shaft Bearing on the T-19, maybe the shaft dropped down and the gears not lining up causing low whine gear noise. Was told that couldn`t happen.
In mean time picked up a T-19 Transmission rebuild kit that was on sale for a good price, and eventually won`t be finding these . Also have another T-19 high mileage one I might go through.
Also thinking maybe the Differential as Iam now up to 341K miles.
I know noise can be deceiving, as it can travel down the DL.
I was thinking maybe the center support Bearing? Naaa that can`t be, had the DL gone through a few years back, even had to replaced the Splined Stub.
Last Fall replaced 2 U-Joints that had some looseness.
Yesterday jacked up the rear end, put it in nutural so I could spin the DL by hand.
I could hear the low bearing roughness...It`s the frickin Center bearing.
I have a HF Stethoscope, put the pokey thing on the bearing and can hear the dry bearing growling.
Checked online for the Center Bearing, O`Really shows 3 of them, and different shaft diameter`s. OH Great. So I need to pull it, use my Caliper to see the diameter, then go down there and order it. Or order one of each, use the right one and take the other 2 back.
Did a Google search last night, and finally watched about 10 different YT`s. Cutting it off with a cut off wheel, beating on it with a chisle etc.... Looked like a hack job way to remove it, but ea one the guy did it the same way.
I thought we would use a puller and then tap them on with a proper diameter piece of pipe.
Look`s like I need a bigger Hammer...
Is this the way you guy`s do it?
This is on my 86 F-250 T-19 1 X 4.
