Re: Removed propshaft now no movement
I think most will ask why you removed the propshaft. I am not 100% sure of the way the tcase works but I know that the truck still drives without it. Just did a 2500 mile trip with no propshaft, shouldnt have but had to.
Maybe your rear differetial is toast? Does the driveshaft spin?

:stupid:
If it was the rear-end, you'd know it. My call is transfer-case.
Leave the propshaft in place and pull the driveshaft and see if you're dead in the water again. If so - your transfer-case is acting like an open differential. I don't know enough about the transfer-case to tell you that means it's the planetary - since I could see it being the VC too.

I was going to wait until you posted (since you've had more dealings with t-cases), Dave... but I figured that the clutch would still transfer movement through it, just not engage the outer shell. (I can see I was wrong though).

Re: Removed propshaft now no movement
I also heard a grind or whining type noise and then the truck wouldnt move at all, i would still drivld still drive on a flat hill very slow but going up any type of slope it went nowhere, i am going to admit i took the transfer case apart after i switched it from my ty to sy because it had a small leak, the viscous clutch only has about 4k on it i bought it new and replaced all seals and the chain, when i was putting the transfer case back together something was wrong because when i turned the output shaft i could heat a slight grinding and rubbing, so i tore it apart again put it back together and the noise stopped, there might still be a issue i missed, i mean its not like it rocket science to put it together, also i think the rear end on the sy is fine never had any issues before

Re: Removed propshaft now no movement
i'm going to pull the transfer case soon, perform the torque test you recommended Dave, I might revert back to my original viscous clutch if this test fails and try driving it without the propshaft again, I thought I was buying a good unit not some cheap chinese junk, I appreciate the quick responses and information, ill be sure to post the results of my findings.

Re: Removed propshaft now no movement
I'll never move my truck but a few feet without the front prop in also! Learned my lesson, even though my tcase was ruined before I got the truck..
I'm assuming I have one of the $300 Chinese clutches, upgraded to a TY rebuilt tranny from a board memory, and its still holding up after a few 1000 miles. Night and day better then my busted ass one. Last owner drove it for a few years with no front prop.
