That's what mine did. I replaced both filters and it was good again. robertleeii 06-02-2006, 10:36 AM new air filter fuel filter new mobil 1 sinthetic in engin freshly changed oil in front and rear diff and in transmision! tires aired up to proper psi. diesel power fuel additive. injectors were replaced at christmas. my only concern is that the front diff had water in it and when i put it in 4wd and turn the wheel it seems to catch and not want the truck to move. kept thinking the parking brake was not fully released. maulcruiser 06-02-2006, 10:56 AM when i put it in 4wd and turn the wheel it seems to catch and not want the truck to move That's completely normal. That's driveline bind. It happens when all 4 wheels have equal traction and equal torque distribution, but since you're turning, the distance each individual wheel has to travel is different. Since there is no differential in the t-case, the driveline binds up until the amount of stored torque can over come the traction of one or more tires, which is why the truck "bucks" when you turn. robertleeii 06-02-2006, 08:00 PM i know the feeling but this just seems a little excesive. i am sure it is just me being parinoied! | ||
