I know you guys can't give me a 100% answer with out digging into it, I was just looking for somewhere for my mechanic to start.

Thank you very much

When was the last time you changed your trans and dif fluid?

 

I didn't even think of that. I had tunnel vision after putting in this lift thinking that it was related. I'll check it myself. Its prolly something simple like that. Thanks

 

Thanks again, I changed out all the fluids (tcase tranny diffs) and it was still there. Come to find out it was my rear dshaft, needed to be upgraded after the lift. Thank you again for opening my eyes to the obvious regular maintainence. The diff fluids were kinda thin but no metal shavings and all was intact. The tcase and tranny fluid seemed fine, but it needed to be done anyway. Thank you again

Mine did the exact same thing and it was my front drive shaft

 

Yea, I ASSumed it was the front too, from everything I have read. Took it off, and still was there. Drove like that for a day, then did all the upgrades. Just happy its gone!
