I’ve got a 1979 K10 full-time 4WD that I’m getting back on the road. 350/TH350/NP203 combo with new front axles, seals, and such. New axle seals all around in the rear, too. The driveshaft was rebuilt as well.
Where I’m presently stuck is a noise that shows up at 40-45 MPH from under the truck. It’s a sort of “machine gun” sound (though not nearly as loud). More M16 than A10 Warthog in terms of speed if you get me.
It doesn’t seem to change with speed and always goes away once I back down below about 40. I haven’t tried pushing beyond 45 for fear of doing some real damage.
Anybody have suggestions on how to begin troubleshooting?
Thanks in advance!
