4Hi binding on pavement

That sounds like a lot of work

 

This was the first time I ever binded my truck. Like I said the only reason I had it on was to get rid of the vibrations from the needle bearing issue. But I forgot I had it on and took a quick left hand turn. I didn’t realize I had my truck still in 4hi till a was able to completely stop at the location I pulled into. I was disengaged 4hi and backed up and drove off to an empty parking lot I was able to go forward and engage 4hi to make sure I didn’t majorly fuck something up. Seems a bit rougher now when I went back to 2wd. But I’m stuck at work and can’t really my a call on anything yet.

 

The only reason to put it in 4wd on dry pavement is to diagnose an issue with the needle bearing. You don’t do it again after you confirm it

 

It very well be something else causing the issue. But for me I would switch to 4hi and drive for a bit and disengage to 2wd and the vibrations in the pedal would go away for a while. Its been an on and off vibration.

 

I’ve heard that the chain drive t-cases are stronger than the old gear drive t-cases. Now you have me thinking that might be because chain is more elastic than gear teeth. Is this your t-case, or a pic of a t-case that needed the chain replaced?

If the chain starts slipping, seems like it would give some warning before completely disabling the truck?

 

You’re fine. Don’t worry about it. If you broke anything, it would have made a loud bang and you would have felt it. I blew up a T case in a Chevy. It made a hell of a bang when it broke.
