yanrider Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Hey guys, so I'm getting a harsh clunk, what almost feels like a chain skip or a delayed AWD activation feeling in the front end on harder launches. It will do it in reverse also I believe. When on a slippery surface (snow/ice) it doesn't really do it, although I will hear a click from the L/F which might be axle slop? Am I looking at a transfer case rebuild? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXGM Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 When was last time you serviced the t-case? If fluid is bad you will sometimes get a skipping feeling ...... to hard to diagnose through my keyboard..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yanrider Posted February 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 ya i just did all the fluids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yanrider Posted February 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 (edited) hmmmm, bit of reading and apparently using Autotrak II has been a fix for some issues. GM apparently recommends MTF now or something? I just used the same DEX6 as transmission, seems that could be too thin or something. Could that be an issue as it was actually spec'd for DEX3 back in the day which is non synthetic...

yanrider Posted February 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Update, swapped out the DexVI for Auto Trak II....seems much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doughty08 Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Just a heads up its the chain slipping in the transfer case, changing the oil will make u believe its resolved but a stretched chain is just that a stretched chain and it will show its ass again very soon. Simple job to do with minimal tools and am sure theres many How tos on here. If u got any questions I dont mind walking u through everything u need to resolve your issue.

Blown 346 Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 I agree with Above. stretched chains are common. The Auto Track is all I use for my T case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yanrider Posted February 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Ya I just need it to last a little while longer, planning to pull the transmission this summer and rebuild both. Might pick up a blown engine this weekend. Would be nice to drop in a freshly rebuilt engine at the same time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
