try replacing the actuator valve on the front axle
the front end load bearing or other bearing in the gearbox will be stuffed. when you engage the clutch the gearbox doesnt have any drive thru it so stops turning and then you noise stops.
Look at the lower rear end of engine
Did you have the front tires balanced and did you get the front end aligned??
Yes, the earthworm does have a front and back.
Should be a removable housing at the engine end of the upper radiator hose
shoot the tires out!
no
Mine was the hood. I lubed the hinges and the front latch. Problem solved!
the actuator on the front end is more than likely the problem. it is electric and it is usually under water or in mud when it is engaged. it is an easy fix. it is located on the front axle tube almost in the center of the front end. it is the only thing on the axle that has wires going to it. oh you will need to remove the skid plate first. then unhook the wires to it and unscrew it out. it has a big nut made on it like a 1 1/4. you made need to put out on it something serious to break it lose. dont be afraid of breaking it you wont. then put your new one in. you can jerry rig it if you wont to. when you take it out slide an old short socket or something like that in the hole and screw it back in. this will engage the front end for good. your 4 wheel drive will still disengage at the transfer case put not at front end like it normally would. doing this you can engage the 4 wheel drive going down the highway and no worries everything in the front end is engaged already. i know this because i had a 1994 that was nothing but a mud buggy. you could engage the 4 wheel drive running 80 down the highway.
Yes they will, There the same thing.
well i would suggest checking at the tip of the breast first
It may be a front U-Joint, or front driveshaft/cv joint.
in a pick up it will if it is 4X4 you need to make sure the gear is the same as in the front end
Had that happen to my 90 GMC PU. 4WD didn't work and the light on the shifter on the floor didn't light up - just like yours. I don' know what the part is called technically, but the shop mechanic at the dealer called it a donkey dick. Apparently, they go out about every 10 years. It cost about $125 as I recall and it's a 5 minute job to take out the old one and put in the new. It's some kind of electric switch close to the front end that electronically engages and disengages the 4WD. My son-in-law got under the front end and it looked like it was located close to the front axel. He didn't have to jack it up or anything.
Pretty sure it's at the front end of the crank.
I believe that is the vacuum to engage the front axle when in 4 wheel drive.
they wont fit. unless you modified them.
