kickback

ever since i lifted my truck i am getting some sort of kickback feeling when im at a stop. idk if its the transmission downshifting or what it is. anyone had this issue with lifts?

 

Two things i can think of other cant be you, your 2wd

One like you said transmission downshifting.

Two You center carrier bearing and or the ujoints are at to high of a angle and binding up some do to lift. You can drop the center bearing try some washers and longer bolts see if the angle helps. Only other thing you can do is shim the axle up some so the ujoints are not that high of angle...

One more thing when was the ujoints greased last?

 

after driving. not all the time. ill come to a stop. and ill feel a jerk in the drivetrain.

 

i havent greased anything...only since the squeking noise from the leaf springs til i get time to stick bicycle tubes between them

 

haha on the 2wd. ive seen people doing that...i have those 4" blocks and they were sloped at angle to help with that.

 

ive also noticed that when im at a stop and switch over to the sport shift. its already in 4th gear. is that how everyones is?

 

What about the center bearing in the drive shaft? If it hasnt been lower you might have problems there.

Ujoints need to be greased every 5000 miles. If they run low they can cause all kinds of weird noises.

If you had 4wd diff drop plus angle turn to keep angles on the ujoints minimum.

 

That's the default behavior. I've never read of it being something that can be changed.

 

I think 5th and 6th are the overdrive gears per manual. Default to 4th because of safe shift point?

 

I thought is was 3rd gear on 2nd gens.

 

Mine always goes to 4th. Maybe it's 3rd with 4.6L tranny.

 

Probably. I will check the data on it.

 

What I seening the tranny controls speed when limp mode. Engine size doesnt matter. By the looks of it. Do to fly by wire system.

 

I was thinking the 4.6L had a 5 speed , but wrong i'm wrong on that.

 

You might be thinking of the 4.7L.

 

I was looking at limp mode and max speed. Ugh. Looks like you can get the 4.6 in a six speed gearbox or 5 ? Im guessing what ever the dealer orders it I guess.

 

I'm not sure what i'm thinking now. Heh heh

 

I have a 6 speed.
