Sad to admit this
Ok, I know I live in Colorado, but I've been working on this truck since I bought it and never even tried out the four wheel drive. So I did this morning after 5 inches of snow dropped.
I could get it in 4 Hi but there was a rumbling (left front) on lower speeds, once I increased my speed the rumbling went away...any suggestion? knuckle/u joint?
Also, I couldn't get the transfercase in neutral or in 4 Lo. Is there a trick to this? Does the tranny have to be in neutral and at a complete stop?
I've only owed this truck since June, so don't bust my ***** to bad
Thanks

Check your wheel bearings and the small end spindle bearing. Grease them up reall good. Also check to see if your little I beam slide clip is installed to hold brake caliper in place. The retaining bolt tends to snap off on those allowing it to fall out and would cause chatter..

Yeah, I have October or November 2006 on the brain. I remember swapping hydraulic cylinders on a Deere 750C dozer in Timnath and they started closing Highway 14, I-25 and Highway 257. The next day was a wreck.
I was also in Timnath R&R a Caterpillar Turbo when the tornado of 2008 went by. That was NUTS!
