Here's ice breaker though, while under the sporty I heard a sharp whistling noise and when I moved the fork even just a tiny bit the noise stopped. Then it started again and same thing moved the fork and it stoped. I was able to make is whistle and scrape just by moving the end of the fork a tiny bit. It's like the inner part of the fork was rubbing against something or like the bearings in there were whistling and I was able to stop it.


The throwout bearing is toast.

Problem two, I just found this problem while under the truck. I have a big oil leak somewhere. It's dripping down right on the front diff. I thought at first that it was coming from the oil pan but then I noticed it was coming from up top somewhere. Is there an oil line up there or something? I reached behind the valve cover from the driver side and couldn't feel any oil. I looked from the top and the bottom with a flashlight and couldn't spot the source of the leak. How about a few pointers on where to look for this. Maybe when I put it up on the jack I will be able to see better from underneith.


I'll bet the gasket for the oil cooler is leaking. Check around the filter mount.
