I can also hear a cling sound on mine, but only when I change the gear to R. No cling sound for D. How long after you heard the sound before it blowed away?

Get you shaft extended as soon as possible I didn't know what that clinging noise was until it was too late as far as what I know so far right now between the drive shaft and the transfer case the spline are worn out that's why you hear that sound it's gonna go out so my best advice give RACEMALIBU572 a call and he'll do a excellent job for you

Thanks, man. I'll call after I take off tonight.

Quick question: Did you hear the cling sound both at D and R? Or you just hear the cling sound at R?

Thanks again!

That makes a lot more sense to me.

Mine only have cling sound when switch to R. It might be a bad axle IMO, cuz the CV boot has been torn for more than a year.

Thanks for the reply, man! Glad you're back on the road again! I'm going to Miami next week to have my honeymoon. See you there!
