This is aimed towards Snitty, but anyone can definatly chime in. here's the deal.
couple weekends ago me and my boss put a plow on his 88 chevy truck. it is a 4x4 with a 4.3 V6. We put torsion bars from a 88 2500 in it that were new from the dealership (bolted right up) put the plow on and everything, drove around for a week or so with the blade still on the truck. It snowed monday morning and my boss got to work and plowed. after about ten minutes with the truck in 4wd, he said he heard this nasty grinding sound and a funky smell (this is with the blade up while driving in 4wd). put it into 2wd and it went away. T-case is full of ATF last night we changed the front diff fluid, no metal or anything out of the ordinary. Put into 4wd on a lift and all was well.
we went home and he called me and said it did it again when he tried 4wd.
What is the problem?
Do you think the torsion bars are effecting anything? They were identical to the old ones dimension wise? There was no modification done to the IFS?
