Gimp, nothing was hurt from it. As strange as it sounds, it just started.:beer:

Well the synchro would be 3rd, the 2nd issue as stated above was the trunion bearing not oil, and #3 was an overtorqued bearing not non mil-spec brake fluid.

Figured out the loud popping noise from the rear. The preload on the LR trunion bearing was not right. At the trunion you could move the leaf spring about 1/8" at the bearing when the truck was supported at the trunion by jackstands. The hub is coming apart today to fix the heat problem.

No sprag-air shift.

This is Ron, Would a BROKEN axle cause the clatter when turning a sharp turn, I noticed it more making a sharp right turn, but Jim saids he could here it both directions, whats your thoughts on this ?????????

I agree, that's what I think the hot hub's problem is. I don't believe that's the popping issue though. There's something wrong with one of the differentials.

Can't be, under 200 miles since done.

I should have said the backing plate and drum were normal temp, the hub you couldn't touch. Joe, no bad mojo, something is definately broken. There is no "chatter" it sounds like you hit the box with a hammer and if your hand is on the bed when it lets go, the whole box shakes.

So we had three issues yesterday. Ron and I are curious what others may think is wrong. Issue #1: Trans is smooth shifts great-except 3rd, absolutely no noise. It doesn't seem to want to go into 3rd easily, not hard but not like the rest. If accelerating in 3rd-all is good if you let off it...
