I already tried searching and got nowhere.
I have a D18 behind an SM420. Yes, it's in a Cruiser, but I figure there's more D18 knowledge here than in the LC forum. Both were professionally rebuilt and have about 100 miles on them. Everything seemed to be working fine.
The Cruiser has been sitting for a few months while I did some work on the body, moved the rear axle back (spring flip) and had the rear driveshaft lengthened. Now I hear a knocking noise from the transfer case when I decelerate. It's pretty loud. I can hear it when I put in the clutch and coast. It's also there if I put the trans in neutral while coasting. Also when I put the transfer case in neutral while coasting. It's definitely soemhow connected with the rear driveshaft spinning.
I have checked the driveshaft for clearance issues, it's fine. I have checked the transfer case shifter engagement and it seems ok. And yes, I checked to make sure there was gear oil in it
I am hoping it's a common problem with a simple solution. Anybody got any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Phil
