hey fellas (and ladies?)
I recently bought a 2000 ranger and there's a grinding/scraping sound coming from the front axle area at 40 MPH and above. the truck drives well and the sound is not effected when i shift gears. I'm guessing its coming from the t-case or the axle/hub somewhere...i can't really get under the car at 40 mph to find out. i don't have manual hubs, and i don't have auto-lockers. seems to be just straight shafts (independant suspension, not straight literally). anyway, my questions are:
what should i do as far as manual hubs. will the avm's work with the straight shafts?
how tough is it to find a manual t-case for this truck? electronic shift is kinda cheesy.
thanks
