I recently had an issue with my 4wd making noise in 4wd only. I replaced all u-joints in rear drive shaft and front axles and replaced front drive shaft. I had the transfer case apart and replaced all seals. Turned out to be the new front driveshaft I installed. Cost me a lot of money but I did...

Good Evening, I am planning on installing a Ranch Hand Legend front bumper and winch and that may add close to 400 pounds to the front end. Should I consider upgrading to a stronger front springs? Or is the trucks front end suspension more than capable of this kind of modification? If upgrading...

Good evening, I was researching u joints for my 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 and I came across a company called Torque King. I have always used non greaseable Spicer U joints but this company's products look pretty robust too. Anyone have any experience with Torque King u joints?

No, I have owned it since 2018 and put about 100k miles on it. I dont use 4wd that much and have never paid much attention to it until I started hearing a rattling noise. I am wondering if the shop didnt properly index the electric motor properly on the transfer case when they installed it? The...

Thanks for the reply. I do not have any tire thread wear. When shifting from 4Hi to 2Hi on the fly the 4wd light extinguishes and to be honest I thought I was back in 2WD until I made a sharp turn, that's when I noticed the front wheels were still engaged and the front end was binding during the...

Update on my 4wd problem. I removed the new front drive shaft and installed my old drive shaft and the problem went way. Expensive lesson but I am glad that issue is resolved. I do have a question about how the NP 273 transfer case works? I have the electric shift on the fly system and when I...

I had three guys at the transmission shop put it on a lift and try to isolate the noise. They thought it was the transfer case and tore it apart and found nothing. 1500 dollars later I got a new seal kit and the transfer case re-installed with the problem still there! Unfortunately I do not...

Yes the transmission is a shift on the fly model. I don’t mind coming to a stop to shift into 2wd but the rattling noise drives me nuts and I know that’s not normal. The shop just replaced the seals. They said the case is flawless. No wear, the chain is in great shape and only the rear seal was...

I have a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 5.9 cummins 4x4 auto with a NP 273 transfer case. When I engage 4wd and 4wd low I hear a rattling noise under the truck. It is worse when there is no power applied. When power is applied the rattling noise almost goes away. When I am in 4wd low and stop and switch to...

I own a 06 2500 4x4 with 237,000 miles and about 7800 engine hours. It is completely stock with the exception of a Red Head steering gearbox. I chose to invest in my 06 and skip buying a new one. My reasoning has everything to do with how I use my truck and the simplicity of working on it. My...
