Can someone get me a picture?

When I had my driveline made the fella at the shop told me that the slip yoke should atleast be 1" from being fully pushed in the trans. when aired out or at the lowest point. Hope that helps.

Well, how would the plunge be affected by raising or lowering? That carrier bearing is fixed as well as the pinion. The pinion would change but I don't think it would cause it to plunge it into the tranny.

Unless it pushed on the driveshaft and the carrier bearing is made to have some movement?

So all in all then, I need to lossen my carrier bearing mounts and pull the rear back so I pull some of the slip yoke out of the tranny.

Thanks for the pics slammed, but that did'nt quit do it, haha! I needed pics of the bolts that hold the carrier bearing in relation to where the carrier is sitting...

Does it sound like ringing a bell when you hit a bump? The carier bearing does have movement when the truck goes over bumps or dips. When you compress the suspension the yoke will slide in and when you jack the truck up it'll slide out. With the truck at normal height/rest the yoke will sit back to it's neutral spot.

No, but when I either coast regardless of it being in neutral or not it will make the noise. I can also let off on the throttle and it will make a noise.

I also found that if I have my foot on the gas past a certain point it will cause the sound to disappear... I don't think it is u-joints because it made the noise before we worked on it and it got louder after we put the driveshaft back on and all. I never touched the suspension to alter height... Which would cause pinion change. Hence why I think it is from the slip yoke being too far into the tranny...

Unless my tranny or clutch is screwed up...

The carrier bearing is rubber mounted to allow it to move forward and back as the suspension moves. The bearing mount is slotted to allow for some adjustment at the tranny. As stated earlier 1" from bottoming out is probably a good idea. If it helps, I will try to get some pics today.

I can take more and better pics if you want today? Lemme know man, Text me or something 530-366-1808, Im not gonna be on much today so I wont get your reply, lemme know, Anything to help out man!

like this one?
this was the first one he posted in the carrier bearing series

trust me when your truck goes up and down the driveline goes in and out. you posted asking if you could just move your axle toward the rear to remedy it and yes to a point u could, but then your wheels wouldn't be centered in the openings anymore, and would like dog poo

Eh, ya, well he also did'nt have both botls in the picture. Check out my project thread, I just posted up in there about this! Let me know what ya think?

Thanks for the offer guys but I got the idea now. I needed to move it out more for this sort of compensation cause of the air ride. Just was wondering how much...

Finally got around to putting the truck in the air. Hope this helps some.

Straighton shot of carrier bearing. Shiny driveshaft goes to tranny.

Tought to get a clean shot of the input shaft. Because of the cantaleiver setup (yes, I know), at ride height the input shaft is at it's furthest "in". As the suspension goes up or down, it pulls the input shaft out some.

This pic kinda ties into your project thread about driveline / pinion angles.

Will post some other info on your project thread.
