Hey all
Andrew and I were looking at my truck to determine where my clunk is.
Andrew noticed how much play was in the rear drive shaft..
anyone know how much play should be in that shaft??

more technical description:
The u joints are all super tight. There is a good 1/4 inch of play on the rear driveshaft where it goes into the transfer case. The rear transfer case seal is facing outwards and clearly stretched from the shaft moving around(i thought they went inwards, but I could be wrong). More play with truck on ground, less with the rear end hanging loose (and frame on stands).
on my 2wd, the driveshaft doesn't move at all when inserted into the trans tailshaft. (with truck sitting on ground). Wasn't sure if maybe the AWD's have a little more 'slop' in them, because his front shaft has about 1/16 inch of play (not nearly as much as the rear...but still noticeable)
blown transmissions are about as useful as 97% of the guys on this forum
Bad bearings on the output shafts?

that's what I was thinking.... not sure if it's worth trying to replace them
OR just swap transfers...since he already got a new (used) one

Swap, rebuild, sell.

The clunk noise is from your transfercase, common problem on SS trucks
06 rcsb, 6two, 231/235, 4.11, pacesetter, 80e, 14 bolt, Nelson tuned
2011 rcsb 6two swap in the works with 6l90 and boost

If it's the same clunk I get out of mine, I used to get it out of my '00 Z71 as well. On that one it was the slip yoke moving in and out of the transfer case causing the noise. I haven't checked on the '06, but am assuming it is the same thing. Only happens after coming to a stop and restarting, or going from reverse, stopping, then going into drive.Originally Posted by Ray@NP
