Bad Rumble in Drivetrain
Ok....I just bought an '88 Ranger Ext. Cab 4x4 and this drivetrain problem is driving me nuts!!! It has touch drive/5-speed manual trans./auto hubs I'd like to change over to manual everything. Anyway, when it's driven, there is a rumble...I mean like heavy rumble coming from what sounds like everywhere. It's not a whine like a trans. or T-case problem, it's sounds like maybe a driveshaft issue or a diff. It does this no matter what speed I drive it at and it does it coasting in neutral. It's not the clutch either...it engages smooth and there is no chatter and it's not warped. The guy told me it goes threw U-joint every two years. I'm thinking bent driveshaft. Dunno...can any of you guys give me a place to start I know your thinking...why did you buy this truck. Well the guy sold it for $2000 with a perfect body, no rust, interior mint and 180K. I have an '86 Std. cab with a 302 and c-4 trans. already built but the body is falling apart...I can put my foot through the floor board and all most Flintstone it. I put a plate there so I can drive it and not get my feet wet
