Hi again guys,
Was driving my savage Xss 4.6 over the weekend tuning my new integy suspension setup. Suddenly I noticed a decrease in power. Upon checking things out, I realized that I had no power going to the rear wheels, power was going only to the front wheels. I could turn the rear wheels freely while the front wheels are on the ground stationary.
Drive shafts were in, I wasn't bashing around, just driving on the street.
So I picked up the truck and spun both rear wheels in the same direction and I was able to hold the rear drive shaft while doing this. I don't think that should be. Again the front wheels did not move while doing this.
What do you guys think the damage is? Gearbox or rear diff? Don't think it could be the clutch though. Truck has just about 1.5 gallons through it and I don't bash at all so the clutch should be ok.
Had some gearbox damage before where a tooth from one of the gears broke off. Thinking the gear is now really damaged causing the problem but I'm not hearing like broken stuff when I shake the truck.
Please share your thoughts people. Really appreciate it.
