So here's my story:
I put the truck in 4 lo just for fun to drive over a coupe railroad ties. I put it back in 4 hi. and start to drive away. Then it starts making an awful binging kindof surging noise and feel. It kindof comes and goes but is always there when I turn and sometimes when going straight. Turns out that the bolts on the front end of the front prop shaft are digging into the exhaust pipe (not just the heat shield). So i prop up the front end and the wheels turn in opposite directions like they were under tension. and when i turn one (while in park) the other turns the opposite direction. after I let it down the prop shaft is no longer digging into the exhaust. So I drive it again in hi gear and it immediately starts to bind again...
So does anyone have any suggestions, ideas, or troubleshooting ideas? I'm all ears. I'm by no means an expert on the 4wd system so I'm wondering how the front wheels should act in park, hi, and lo gear when off the ground.
this is pretty major binding so I'm not leaving my driveway unless I take out the prop shaft, so need to get this figured out asap...
