So I have an ‘89 K1500, 350 700R4 3.73 front and rear. As it was happen, there was slippery stuff this weekend. I put in 4wheel high, with some effort...had to go 4wheel low first-to test in case stuff got dicey. There was a noticeable roar, growl, other synonyms-the front drivetrain. As of now, my procedure is as follows: put on jack stands, 4wheel high, try to identify “roar”.
Expertise please. Is this the best diagnostic procedure? Check hub bearings and CVs first? Then work to transfer case and front diff? I apologize, I’m a planner, I like a map before I begin. Any experience with these sounds and diagnostics would be greatly appreciated....oh and per my pet peeve....I will finish the thread one way or another for posterity’s sake. Learned too much from this place not too. Thank you in advance
