- O/O '98 378 Pete tandem dump ~~ '03 S185
The odd time when I am accelerating, at around 1300-1600 rpm the ol pete seems to loose driveline connection. I can back off the throttle and it hooks back up and I can keep on trucking. Confusing part is I cannot MAKE it happen, it's random and usually in the same stretch of 200-300 ft. from a stop. Any one have any suggestions?
I don't seem to have any leaks around my bell housing, but I had a quick lube service and I did notice, that the u-joints were overgreased, leads me to believe my release bearing nipple was as heavily greased. Could this cause such slippage? Will it go away? I went 2 days without an slip now it's randomly, annoyingly back.
Could I have busted some springs? Are there still springs in hydraulic clutches? Aside from the clutch and spinning tires what else can slip?
If I had the answers we could make this a multiple choice test. :drinkup :drinkup
