Weeeeellllll,I has me a problem.
Couple days ago I turned down the heater, because it was no longer 7* outside. I then turned off the radio because I was sick of political talk radio for the week. Then I heard it. I slight scuffing noise. I thought it sounded like a brake pad getting to thin and beginning to scuff the rotor.
Yesterday I was driving with the door open. I know. I smart. I finally realized the sound was coming from under the truck, middle area. Rut row. Noise is at all speeds, most noticeable at lower speeds due to wind and engine noise. It is rpm dependant.
This morning I jacked the rear wheels off the ground to see if I could get the sound to come out of hiding. Turned driver's wheel, which turned the pass wheel opposite direction, same speed. Good. I know I have an open diff. Slight noise, hard to pinpoint. Could just be gears moving without lube yet. Then turned the driver's wheel opposite direction, and the pass wheel would barely move. Same issue when I switched sides.
I grabbed the driveshaft near the u joint at the rear and couldn't really get any movement.
Question: should opposite side wheels be moving at same speed no matter which direction I move a wheel?
