Hello all,
As you may (or may not) have been following my troubles with a 1971 IIA 88, I wanted to give an update and ask a question.
There seems to be a binding under load and "juddering" going thru 2nd, 3rd and sometimes 4th gear.Typically only under load or going up hill. You can "power" thru it, and at about 3250 or more RPMS it seems to dissapate.
I have replaced: Plugs, wires, coil, points, condensor, dist. cap and adjusted valves.
The shaking seems to start only when the vehicle is warmed up. There seems to be a driveline shudder, but you can power through it. I have also replaced u joints in the rear prop shaft and there seems to be no play in the slip joint.
Front drive train does not seem to have issues at all (all tight, and good)
My diffs front/rear do not whine. The truck has a rover drive and it does not howl... there is good compression in all cyls and I have changed the xfer and rover drive fluids (looked good) main box topped off too.
SO...I just went on about a 6 mile drive going up to 55mph...truck good and warm. Got home, felt diffs (warm) gear box (warm) Xfer box extremely hot, to the point it will burn your fingers if you leave them there more than a second or two. Same with Rover drive, scalding hot...
Is this normal? I mean guys (and girls) this thing is hot like an exhaust manifold
What could be going on? (Binding of some sort?) there are NO noises at all coming from any of this and the e brake drum is also not on or locked up...
Rear wheels will turn easily when truck is jacked up
Your best guesses would be appreciated!
Best,
Griswald
