im having some major problems with my drivetrain. it sounds like my rear is just grinding away. i dont think its my rear at all, its ither the U joints or the support bearing. i can not find a website to order a support bearing for my truck. its a 012500HD crew cab 4 wheel drive. thanks a lot

 

it has a support bearing being a 4wd?

 

yea its a two piece drive shaft, isnt that the support bearing or better called "carrier" bearing that connects the two drive shafts

 

yeah its a carrier bearing, but i wouldnt expect that from a 01 though...i would check out the u joints

 

If it is the carrier berring, make sure that you get one that has a zerk fitting so that it can be greased.

 

ok well thanks for the info with the zerk, but i cant find a place to get it from.

 

Is it an auto or standard? Becouse I cannot seem to find either one for that truck.

 

any parts store should have it...try asking for a "swing" bearing

 

its an auto tranny and the parts stores that ive been do dont seem to have it ither. was the two piece drive shaft something that came stock with the 01 2500hd models? im starting to wonder if its something the guy before me just put in.

 

a 4wd should certainly have a short 1 piece shaft..the transfer case takes up the need for a longer shaft...
