HI,
I just bought a 1982 Series III that is in pretty rough shape, it leaks just about everything it seems to have a patchwork of steel plates over the fire wall and door frames but the motor has just been rebuilt so hopefully that is OK. I have found water in the transfer case and it has some serious slack in the drive train. Getting to the point.... when the Truck is in nutral I can rotate the rear driveshaft about 45 degrees in either direction but not when it is in gear, Is this the source of the drive train slack??? does any body know what may cause this???? Bad shims in the dif or transfer case problems was my guess but I am stationed in Italy and i cant get a shop to look at is as it is "British" scared or something i dont know. any help would be great. Ben
