Sorry for the dead thread. My life is very “roulette-ie”. I may be slow rollin for a few days and then out of no-where be chin deep in business for 2 weeks straight. And often times, having to balance either/or with truck repairs and maintenance. Haha
Anyway in the morning the parts store is bringing me a Transfer Case Support Insulator. I have been hearing loud roaring along with heavy spurts of vibration. Wheel bearings checked out so took a gander underneath and I’ll be. In all the trucks I’ve worked on. Which is many. As well as all the trucks a local mechanic has seen, never have I seen a setup like this truck has. I checked the carrier bearing and it definitely wasn’t causing the issues. Then as I scanned the DS I wasn’t sure I was seeing right but there was a second carrier bearing literally mounting the transfer case like it was a dog in heat. I was too confused because i have never seen a twin carrier setup. It was right up on the tail shaft as if it was the seal, a bearing, and the trans mount all in one. This is also the trouble maker. The bushing is coming out of the insulator that’s also coming apart. What made it even crazier is there is no trans mount! The only support for the transmission/t-case is this what is the spittin image of a carrier bearing, bolted to angle iron, that mounts to the torsion bar crossmember. The output shaft going through it it all the support the drivetrain has. Motor mounts and then way further back the driveshaft is the other mount.
It took me, that mechanic, and parts guy 8:30-10:30 to figure out what I need to even order. It’s smaller than the center support Carrier so that isn’t the replacement and there isn’t a transmission mount I could find on rock auto or google anywhere that was the same. And appearently no one else in the entire world that may have the same setup has posted questions on the internet because there is nothing.
I looked through a gmt400 repair guide and found a breakdown that labeled it as the T-Case Support Insulator so that will be delivered I’m the morn and hopefully once I get it swapped it stops the shaking and noise. Also having some fresh iridium plugs coming to because the L31 is missing from something. I know the plugs never been replaced so gonna try that first because this miss isn’t throwing a code, but it is throwing the fuel mileage down my throat. When I drive the 2 miles (exactly) to my buddies place, it sucks almosy 3/8 of a tank!!!! I filler up twice everyday, occasionally three times if I am running and gunning all day.
