Front driveshaft spins a bit in 4high

Here is the video I uploaded

I had gotten my 2024 Rebel HD regeared. Truck is in park, and in 4 high. There is play in the front shaft. Is that normal?

When in 2wd I can just spin the shaft my hand.

I forgot to mention there is also some noise when I coast on highway in 4wd high. It goes away as soon as I give it even a little bit of gas. Im not sure if it started since the regear and if it’s related to the shaft play

All normal.

May be a touch more backlash in the front diff than I would want if i was setting up the gears but not an issue really if the pattern is good.

Thanks guys!

Tell us more about the regear if you don’t mind. What did you take out/install? Where did you acquire the new ring and pinion sets? Pricey?

In 4WD, the front drive shaft should spin the same amount as the rear.

In 2WD you should be able to turn by hand. It may turn some when driving due to friction .

What gear ratio did you go with? What parts did you use? Aftermarket or factory?

The shop I used went with 4.44 Yukon gears.

Hell yea man.

I’m about to break into the diff again to put in a truetrac or another lsd.

 

[Olbc]

I think truetrac needs older gears so I’m getting the nitro one

i guess it wasn’t normal after all. Oil splatter around the shaft

I'm not sure normal, I swapped this piece out for for U-Joint front driveshaft. the old one is all locked up now sitting on a shelf

Nice! The one from Cjc?

yes, although there are several options available which can be cheaper, easy to install

I found Adam’s driveshaft in 1410 that promises less binding for about the same money. It’s on the way to me now.

Is the boot torn? Where’s the grease coming from?
