I jumped in my 94 today and took off down the road. I did not have the windows down at first but as I got into 5th gear I rolled them down. I saw two kids playing with a football up ahead so I down shifted to 4th and then to 3rd as the ball rolled across the road. I lightly put my foot back on the GO pedal and it acted like normal. I pushed the pedal a little harder because I was in a rush and I heard a grinding sound. It sounded like if you were trying to put the truck in 4x4 low when still moveing : (don't ask). This happens every time I try to push the truck a little. NOT trying to use all 350hp. Just giveing her normal fuel. <br>I guess this is going to be a $$$$ thing. Has anyone had this before?<br>DM01

 

Were you in the lower rpms???? Mine did something like that before I replaced the pilot bearing and the throw out bearing. <br> Your may be totally different problem to what mine was..but mine sure set up a racket when I would lug it just a little.<br><br>Rick

 

I just put a new throw out bearing in last year. It does it at any RPM.<br>DM01

 

At the risk of sounding to simplistic, it sounds like something is deflecting under load in your tranny, if so, it could be a bearing. I suppose it's possible that there is too much endplay somewhere in there, causing gears to clash. Are there no other symptoms?

 

The sincronizers on my dads 95 are goin out and it make a real bad grindin sound when you shift but not actually when youre just givin her the pedal. Dont know if this is the same thing but you might check it out .<br> Wheels

 

Took her out for a spin again today and shifted it into 4wd and it went away. I beat the out of it in 4wd and it never made the sound. Shifted it back to 2wd and it came back as soon as I did it. Does that shed any light on the subject or just cloud it up?<br>DM01

 

Check the transfer case. That is the variable.

 

Sounds like you broke the snap ring in the tail housing of the transfer case. It makes a grinding sound in 2wd, but doesn't make a noise in 4wd. It is easy to check/fix. Drop the rear driveshaft and take the rear-most piece of the tailhousing off. There will probably be a couple of pieces laying in the bottom. Good Luck, Brian

 

Great thanks. I will have to check that.<br>DM01

 

You were right Took the housing off my truckand bam tow pieces of the snap ring fell out. Thanks for the info.<br>DM01
