I am looking for some feedback on a potential issue. A few months back, I had a bearing fail on the left rear of my 4300, the bearing broke apart and was pushed thru the casing. A chunk of money and time later I got it back together and running. While I had the left rear off, I did everything I could to see if the right side was still solid. There was no play at all.
I was out using it for the first time today; a little paranoid of course. Well everything seemed fine, except I hear an occasional ticking in the right rear if it's slipping and the left isnt moving. Just driving normal or with the diff locked, no noise. I don't remember if it did this before, since I never thought anything of it. It increases with speed, FYI. Anyway, now I am thinking about it!
Can anyone verify if their similar model does the same? Lots of slipping here with snow and ice. I will tear the right side apart, happily rather than break it. I am, based on the symptoms thinking it's the differential making a "normal"'sound.
Thanks for your help!
