The other trucks front driveshaft/ diff have approx the same amount of movement so the jackshaft is next. Are the snap ring type u joints listed in the quick reference the right ones for the front driveshaft?
I had wondered about that as well, was going to check my other truck tomorrow, thanks for checking. I'll check jackshaft first then pull front driveshaft and replace front u joint/check the rear.
Will try to check jackshaft today, I've got lots of work to do first. The pinion bearings are perfect, zero movement but there is about 1/2-3/4" of slack if you turn the driveshaft back and forth (rotational), I'm suspecting there is a problem inside the differential
Good to hear!! Well now I've developed a vibration that is on-off-on-off, high speed like driveshaft speed, going to check the bolts. I did find LOTS of rotational slack in the front pinion, zero up and down movement. All ujoints check out except the front one which has a very small amount of slack.
