Quit Shifting.. Drive Shaft Problem? - 3/30/2008 2:38:13 PM    Justinfl87   Posts: 25 Joined: 3/14/2008 Status: offline Last night I was pulling out on the highway and my truck just started reving like it wasnt in gear, I pulled off the road and put it in park then tried it back in drive, it started going again but wasnt shifting up and drove really slow, I pulled in the gas station checked the fluids and let it sit then it started right up and drove fine for about 30 seconds. Then as I started on the road again it happened all over this time it would go for about 20 seconds go out then work every three or four starts for a little while then repeat this pattern. I disconnected my Jet Chip because I know it adjust shift points, did nothing. I checked the tranny fluid and theres plenty. Then I put it in four hi, it drives the front tires but im getting nothing in the rear. Today I disconnected the drive shaft but before I get it lengthend is this my problem? It drove fine for about two weeks with it being lifted this high and then no noises or anything this happened. When the driveshaft came off there was no wear on the spline? _____________________________ Jet Chip Stage 2, K&N Air Filter, Free Flowing Exhaust, 4.88 Gears, 38.5 Super Swampers TSL Boggers, 3" Body Lift, 8" Long Arm Suspension kit, 10" Competition Leaf Springs, Rear Shackle Flip, HID headlight kit, 1pc Chrome Headlights Post #: 1
