POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:COLUMN SHIFT
WENT TO DEALERSHIP TALK ABOUT TECHICAL SERVICE BULLITEN #86-74-03 CLUNK UPON ACCELERATION(REPLACE TRANSFER CASE FLUID). DEALER CHANGED TRANSFER CASE FLUID, BUT GLUNK NOISE IS STILL THERE. THE SERVICE BULLETIN STATES CAUSE MAYBE TO SLIP-STICK CONDITION BETWEEN THE REAR PROPELLER SHAFT SLIP YOKE AND THE TRANSFER CASE OUTPUT SHAFT. THE CORRECTION, DRAIN THE TRANSFER CASE FLUID AND REFILL WITH FLUID. THIS FLUID CONTAINS A FRICTION MODIFIER THAR SHOULD ELIMINATE THE SLIP-STICK CONDTION. I FEEL THAT THIS SERVICE BULLITEN PROCEDURE DID NOT CORRECT THE CLUCK PROBLEM. I SAID, TO THE TECHNICAL MANAGER THAT THERE IS EXCESS BACKLASH BETWEEN THE CROWN-WHEEL AND PINION IN THE DIFF. PULL IT OUT AND ADJUST IT, AS IT WILL SHORTEN THE LFE OF DIFF. HE STATED THAT THERE IS NO ROOM TO ADJUST IT. I HAVE A 1992 MODEL THAT MAKES A CLUNK NOISE. I THINK MY UJOINTS ARE BEING EFFECTED BECAUSE OF THE BACKLASH. I PLACE MY TRUCK IN DRIVE THEN REVERSE I GET A SLIGHT CLUNK FEELING. IAM NOT A EXPERT, BUT I DON'T THINK THE TSB REALLY CORRECTS THE CLUNK. *AK

TIRES
RUNNING HIGHWAY SPEED AND HAD A BLOW OUT ON RIGHT REAR TIRE. THE TIRE SPLIT FROM WHERE THE TREAD STARTS ALL THE WAY DOWN THE SIDEWALL. THE OTHER INCIDENT IN WHICH THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE HAD A BLOW OUT, I WAS SLOWING DOWN UPON COMING OFF OF THE HIGHWAY. THE TIRE DAMAGE WAS ALMOST IDENTICAL TO THE PREVIOUS DESCRIPTION. THE TIRE SPLIT FROM THE TREAD ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE SIDEWALL. I DO NOT HAVE THE FIRST TIRE THAT HAD A BLOW OUT; HOWEVER, THE INCIDENT THAT TOOK PLACE ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH, I DO STILL HAVE THE ENTIRE SET OF TIRES AND SEVERAL PICTURES OF THE DAMAGED TIRE ON THE RIM. I HAVE REPLACED THESE TIRES, BUT WOULD LIKE TO BE INFORMED OF ANY REIMBURSEMENT FROM THE MANUFACTURER THAT I MAY BE INTITLED TO, DUE TO THESE INCIDENTS AND THE CURRENT STATUS OF RECALL ON THESE TIRES.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P265/75/16 )
