In the D2 we'd remove the front shaft and drive with the cdl locked,, that would eliminate the carden as the problem,,
Can you RR guys do that?
Hi there,
Since a few weeks the train noise of my P38 has become a bit too much. I have been wrecking my head trying to figure out where this comes from. General consensus is that it comes from the u-joints of the front shaft. I read about the out of phase design and the tilted diff and I have checked that straight away. I have also checked for play on the u joints and since they are fairly cheap I rebuilt a spare shaft and put that in yesterday. Almost no difference.
My range has a 2" lift. There is a difference between highway and normal mode. I did recalibrate the EAS after the lift so I am probably riding a bit higher on highway mode but not by much I think. Last year I replaced just about everything drive train related; half shafts, rebuilt diff with lockers and pegging, rebuilt transfer case etc. etc. so I must assume that everything related to those parts is most likely in order but I can not be certain.
At one point I suspected the front left CV since my boot had been punctered a while back and although I could not find any evidence, some dirt my have gottin in when the stick (I asume) punctured it. Since the drone whilst driving is of a fairly high pitch I can only conclude that it must be anywhere before the diff input since that turns at a higher speed then the axles/wheels.
Before I buy myself some double cardan beauties though, I would like to check what the actual problem is in stead of just trial and error buying Anyone any thoughts?
Thanks!

I guess we could, though I am not sure what the VCU would think about that I guess for a short test drive it would never be a problem...
I'll see if I can manage to do that

Anyone else have a thought on running a RR on just one shaft???
(before something else goes bang....)

My D2 driveline drone - particularly at one speed, or a narrow range of speeds was a deteriorating rubber donut on the rear propshaft to diff coupling. They look fine until you remove it and flex it a bit. Don't even know if I have one on my P38. I'll check when the rain stops.
Cheers,
Steve
