Recently I started to notice a noise coming from under the truck in the transfer case area. Af first I thought the noise was from the rear driveshaft, so I bitched when I bought the truck and they replaced the rear u-joints & slip-yoke putting in the newer style nickel plated one. This cured some of the issues for a while, then a similar noise returned. This time I'm pretty sure its from the front yoke on the transfer case, if i grab the front drive shaft I can move it up and down & side to side pretty easy, now I know it should have some play but this is enough play that I can mimick the same noise. So has anyone had this issue before? Just wondering if this is something that is common?


Thanks

No...shouldn't move like that at all. Take it back. Nothing should be easily moved any where between motor and wheels.
