So i was coming home from bc which was a bout 6hrs driving and noticed a clicking/clacking noise. Kinda sounds like a chain slipped of the gear some where. So i checked all fluids diff transfercase and tranny and there all full, however the front diff is BLACK and stinks so im changing that tonight. But as soon as i hit about 40-50 kms/h this noise comes and gets louder and faster as i accelerate. thought it was the transfercase but i jacked the ass end up on stands put it in drive and gott the speedo to about 80 and there was nothing. Was told that before they go caput they sometimes make noise weather in 2wd or 4wd. So i through it in 4 lo and 4 hi and still goes as good as it ever did. So the problem is i cant figure what the hell the noise is and its getting worse everytime i drive it. So any suggestions where to look?? CV axles?? If the new dif fluid helps ill be sirprised. its full just dirty. Any info ill try. Dont want it to go to the shop charge way to much for something i can do myself, if i knew what it was atleast. And the truck drives the same as always. Oh and is there a way to check fluid between where the transfer case meets the tranny? had a small leak there but now theres nothing? |

grab a hold of the front driveshaft and wiggle... move for and aft... then try to spin. Look at the boot on the transfer case where the driveshaft connects. If no boot and driveshaft sloppy. Replace. |

other thought ...4.7L ... exhaust leak at the manifolds. Seems the 4.7 does not seal right and the stud break. |

Yeah its not awd so igeuss its ok. Looking at the cv axle the driver side looks like it leaking fluid, I mean it looks wet but theres no puddles or anything? Weird but I have an appointment sat at my uncles shop. Not in town untill then. Hope its something easy and cheaper to fix

ssssooooo ripped the front drive shaft out and no noise anymore?? So i think its where the one ujoint meets the other om the transfer case side. Theres a little ball looking thing inside and if i shake the shaft hard,lol, it makes the noise. So for now im going 2wd un till i get it in and fixed/or a new one. Dont matter to me uin till the snow comes that is ![]() |

You can pick up a new one on ebay for less than 200 bucks. Just look up dakota drive shaft and you'll see them there. |

ebay for mechanical parts?? it seems weird to buy from there. i can see accessories and stuff like lowering springs and such. Could just be my thinking. |

It's not like the original ebay. It's basically just a big online mall with different stores selling stuff.

are you referring to a cardan joint? i didnt realise our trucks had them ive never payed close attention to my front driveshaft, i am pretty sure you can rebuild a doube cardan.

You can unless the teeth on the shaft are worn to nothing like mine were. Plus the rebuild kits are about the same cost as the entire remanufactured shaft. |
