The proof will be how I get it back, and how long they take. Wish I trusted them more, or at least the service adviser.

Just got back from the dealer, says I need front and rear u-joints replaced. They called in to get the repair approved by the 3rd party warranty, I got approved. Parts are on order. Guess things work out every now and then. Then again, I did pay for it up front though...

From what I've read on the "What's covered" portion of the policy, bearings, u-joints and near all are covered (not things like bushing and shocks). I've never used it (filed a warranty claim), and it expires in July. So it would be nice to get my $'s worth for it!

Thanks for the link fofiddy. Looks like I've gotta try the dealer. I have a 3rd party warranty which should cover this at $100 deductible. Have an appt Tuesday. Today I did some testing. Luckily I also have an Xterra with near same size tires. So I swapped all 4 tires between rigs. The vibration was...

Very cool, thanks Fofiddy! Very well could be a culprit, I run the fire roads up here a lot. I do have an impact wrench, so that'll be much easier than a shaft. How much was a bearing kit/parts? Where'd you get yours?

Spamcan

Thanks slavabon and volite. I'm pretty sure now that it's the drive train (u-joint most likely). I can feel a difference when in a turn and when the suspension compresses when hitting a hill or whatnot. That change of angle of the shafts seems to "relieve" the strain or whatever causing th...

I was afraid of that. There's a small hope, I realized my aftermarket warranty I bought just may cover this. I just hope I can narrow down what it is for sure before I have to pay a diagnostic fee.

In the last few weeks I've been getting a high frequency vibration which seems to come from the front end. I feel it well in the steering wheel. At first I thought it would be a wheel needing balancing or rock stuck in the tread. But the tires are clean, and the frequency is way too fast. It could b...

Thanks axelsup. I did a do a drain/fill of just the tranny, but that was only @ 4 quarts. Let us know how yours went, sounds like a sound plan. I'll probably do the cooler bypass then too (as eieio stated).

I keep seeing Chocmo, that good huh? Thanks for the welcome too!

Good points, have yet to look inside my rig (been riding the motorcycle to work). Would hate to get this and it be a failure in regards to worthy mounting.

Spamcan

Awesome mtcoastie - thanks for the link. That looks like it'll work perfectly! I'll have to go look at my tie-down spots, but it looks right on.

Spamcan

Will do, thanks!

Found fluid type, but no "how to". Never have done a tranny or transfer case fluid change. But $ is tight, so gotta try. Just need to know how/best way.

I'm no longer active Navy. I was in San Diego, now in Seattle area.

Spamcan

Gotta do my tranny fluid change soon. What's the best way? Never did one and can't even check the fluid level - bolted down.

Also could use help on how to change fluid in transfer case, and what fluid.

Sorry, can't find elsewhere on site. I could just be blind.

Thanks.

Dang, so it goes. I'll see how well (or not) the bedliner bumper goes and how practical it would be in the channel. If I get more info or pics I'll post. Thanks all.
