I, for God's sake... Cannot find this clicking noise. I know some have asked about it... but It's not the belt skipping. I *idiot* torqued down the belt just to prove to myself that the belt wasn't skipping and of course stretched the belt out pre-maturely. It's more of a plasticky click from what I 'think' is coming from the rear.

It sounds EXACTLY like the belt skipping but it's under acceleration until I get to speed and it stops. Sounds like it's coming from the rear gearbox. But I have it open and everything's clean and nice. I'm pulling my hair out. I stopped driving on a BEAUTIFUL sunday because it was upsetting me. No loss of power, nothing, just a blech clicking.

My Diffs. All i've ever read (if I missed it, I apologize) was your O-rings are causing the floppy drives. Well mine look great and My drives are getting "BAD" wobble now. I was ignoring it and not worrying but now it's getting drastic wobble.

They look fine. Is it the Brass inner bushing that's the real problem? Thanks for the help as always guys.
I haven't driven my 4x4 for 3 weeks because of this exact problem. This clicking noise came out of no where. Only makes noise on first hard acceleration but disappears once the truck was moving at speeds It's embarrassing and drove me nuts. Thought it was my clicker so I replace all parts but didn't fix. I too realized it was coming from the rear. Pinion and spur were fine. Replace belt gear but still clicking. Thought maybe idler gear. Opened diff but everything looks fine Bought replacement idler gear anyway but have come accross these recent posts on pinning. So I did this mod since tranny was pulled. Also replaced belt.for insurance. Haven't run it yet still reassembling. Hope it's fixed.
