hi guys. put my 97 gx manual back onto the road after four years of fiddling.
prop shafts didnt go back on in the same way,and ive had quite alot of vibes....not in a good way either.
a thread on prop phasing was very informative and thanks to bob murphy, shayne and dave wall for putting me straight on that one.
thinking that if i removed the front prop (which came from a breakers) i could discount that one and get the rear phased a little better. i was always going to be a 'turn it and see' jobbie. then thought about changing the UJ's. no visible wear. im used to the yokes wearing through never mind worn needles as i have a few machines with power takes off shafts (pto) on the farm.
trouble is..after taking off the front shaft, i have no drive whatsoever in high box. i have to move the range lever forward into centre lock to get drive. the only way the truck was being driven in high range was through the fronts. i also have rear drive in LL.
you can put it in high and select R or 1 to five, let the clutch out and jump out. the front shaft flange spinning around like buggery, but alas, not the rear.
transfer box?
cheers.
