Who's Good at diagnosing Noises from a surf???

It's probably an excess of joy causing the problem. Everyones much to happy. The whole situation needs a downer putting on it.....luckily for us albannach is back off holiday...

where's billy when you need him

Well I would start by taking off the front prop. If the noise goes, bobs your dads brother. If the noise is worse since you refitted the rear prop.. Have a damm good look at that. If it isn't the front prop or the back prop, could it be your transfer box....... You have taken it out of 4wd....

Do as Graham says, you have put the prop on wrong unless you marked it before removal and lined it up on re fitting.

You will have to move it round one bolt hole at a time trial and error am afraid

it was the rear prop i repaired... its much worse in 2wd than 4wd... its bearable to drive in 4wd....

i was thinking it could be one of the boxes but they sound expensive, and as i havent sold the car yet i can afford any major repairs.... just trying to keep the truck on the road till i sell car and then its major repairs :P

Take it off and move it one space at a time. Trial and Error now mate

Firstly mark the prop at either end . Then undo, turn 1 hole and redo up. Try it put to see how the vibration is. When the prop goes back into the right position you will know. Have you been using the truck in 4wd on the road at any time with both props connected?

The 2nd gens have no centre diff so in effect your 4wd is locked.
On hard surface you will get axel wind up

I'm posting using my fine so I can't highlight your post with ease. You should NEVER use 4wd on a normal road. Your symptoms you have described, sound very much like axle wind up.. Is yours a 2nd gen?

yeah a 2nd gen in all her glory... but i think i could have broken it now...

[gwh200]

Actually more like transmission rather than axle wind up.sounds as if you have done some damage some where?
Possibly transfer box,possibly more.

shoit...... i'll try prop rotation tmr and see if that helps....

havent really travelled much in 4wd on road.....

[gwh200]

I would REALLY encourage you to go out side right now and see if you can actually get it out of 4wd. If you can try a very short, slow drive....in 2WD!!!!!
