I was just thinking the other day on the build when you started and how it was running now. Oil levels full on the tranny?Little thread revival here as I never posted a final update.
This was a wild experience but very satisfying to complete yourself. I wouldn't call it difficult in terms of mechanisms, etc, but lifting/moving/aligning such heavy equipment is quite tricky.
I think the key here is to really work to get everything straight/level before attempting to align and install. As with most projects, the key is the prep work.
Unfortunately, I noticed an issue with my new trans/t-case that's been quite bothersome.
It seems in 5th gear I have a low, reverberating droning noise. It seems to get worse climbing uphill. If I'm going 50 in 4th gear - nothing, 50 in 5th gear - bigtime droning noise.
Does anyone have any input on what this could be?
