Clunking in Reverse
Howdy all. I did a search and couldn't find what I was looking for. Truck is in signature below.
When I try to back up any sort of an incline with a load, the truck shudders, clunks, hops. It almost acts like it is in 4wd on pavement. I have replaced all the u-joints, center carrier bearing, and checked the pinion nuts. They were all tight. No play. All parts are properly lubed/filled.
I have 126000 on the truck. It appears that someone has been into the rear-end (silicone sealent under cover). The tranny pulls fine in all forward gears and no vibration going down the road.
Now, it didn't do this until after my wife was backing under the camper to load it. It was a slight grade, and she used the emergency brake to keep the truck from rolling with the clutch in. I.E. she left the e-brake on while she backed under the camper.
Is it possible that something in the brakes came undone? Brakes were fine on trip with camper.
What else could it be?
I won't be able to work on it for a few days, but wondering if anyone thinks that this is serious.
