So as discussed in an earlier thread, I swapped the rear diff gears only because I ran out of time in the shop space I had. I dropped the front driveshaft so I could drive it home and garage it for a couple weeks until we can get back in and do the fronts. Question is, with the QuadraTrac it doesn't seem to pull hardly at all without the front driveshaft. You have to really ease into it and you can feel and hear the Transfer Case hum. Is that normal for this ABNORMAL temporary setup? I'm not going to drive it at all between now and when we do the front and I'm going to pull it with my Expedition to the shop then too. I figured if I locked it in 4WD then it should stop since it wouldn't be trying to transfer power up there at all, but it made no difference (or I have a vacuum leak).
Second question, what do I need to replace to get the speedometer back working accurately? I went from 4.10's to 2.72's...
