While working on the rear brakes on my 90 F250 (Diego). I put the transmission in Neutral and noticed that the wheel did not want to turn. I could get it to turn but it felt similar to dragging brakes even though I know it wasn't. First thought was rear end but that seems free.
Almost sounds like a very faint light squealing from the transmission when turning the wheel. Seems to be about the same effort either direction. Truck had sat overnight and wasn't run yet. I did start it after this and put it in neutral with one wheel in the air (tire was removed already) and noticed the hub was spinning with the transmission in Neutral. Fluid was cold though so parasitic drag maybe?
My first thoughts are not good, and now I'm afraid to drive it. If a bearing is going out I don't want to be stuck on the side of the road and make things worse.
Carrier bearing and u-joints are almost exactly one year old. I haven't unhooked anything yet as I'm pretty frustrated by this.
Transmission has been ok, seems like maybe it hasn't been shifting as early as I expect it to, but that could be in my head too. Truck has what I expect to be 144k on the odometer, although I wouldn't be surprised if it was 244k instead. I believe it's the original transmission so I'm not entirely surprised if it is going bad.
Thoughts? Hoping a resident E4OD guy could give me some insight.
