Rough running
So I changed the oil, and that fixed the romping when I start it. A few days ago, I noticed a different vibration when accelerating, and not all the time but sometimes when I let off the gas, and especially in 4th gear, it bucks. The rpms look like they stay the same, and if I push the clutch or accelerator it stops. Is that a tranny problem? I took it by autozone and no codes were in the comp.

So I figured it out. I stopped driving the truck, and I'm glad I did. I crawled under it yesterday to check the U-jpints, and noticed that The 4x4 adapter tail housing cracked all the way around. The T-case was literally held in by the drive lines.

In pulling the transmission, I saw that the cross member was loose.. I don't know how I missed that, but I did. Also, the truck was an automatic originally. Someone at some point re wired everything, and put that plastic heat shield stuff on all the wires. My question is, can I weld that rear housing back together? Has anyone tried that? Eventually, when I get some cash, I'd be buying a replacement. But would welding it work?
