1997 with 2wd a4wd 4high 4low
Had a bad vibration starting at 40mph. Diagnosed this to a square weight that fell off the front drive shaft. Got a different shaft from the junk yard and now have a vibration that starts at 60-70 mph.
My issue is that front drive shaft spins in 2wd.
Front axle is disengaging properly, jacked up the back end and the front shaft turns when in drive with the rear wheels spinning. I then replaced the transfer case motor, no change still spins.
When in park i can spin the front drive shaft it has a little resistance. I then tied up the front drive shaft with a ratchet strap, placed in drive and let the rear wheels spin, the front drive shaft did not spin.
Any ideas what is causing this? Can it be fixed without replacing the complete transfer case.
I am thing of driving around in 2wd with it tied up to see if it will loosen up.
