Check your u-joints. Did you grease them? If I remember correctly this truck has not been driven in over 15 years. All you are hearing is a popping sound is that correct? No howling of the rear end or transmission? How does it shift? No binding in the shifting? The transmission stays in gear when you drive it? Confirm these questions and then post again in the Engine and Driveline Shop. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 11 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 11 | | | | | | Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 1,703 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 1,703 | I would start at the passengers side wheel bearing.
sounds like it has given up the farm from what you have described.
