  • In this video come along as I look into the 4x4 system on this 1998 Chevy S-10. It is making a bunch of noise and we need to figured out what it needs so we can get some parts ordered for part 2...

    I think I've watched this one twice. I had a 97 Blazer ZR2 5sp (gave it to my son) and became very familiar with the workings of the 4wd system. Based on your final diagnosis my belief is that this vehicle was left in 4wd on dry roads for extended periods and the chain stretched and began slipping. The banging noise is the chain jumping the sprocket. Thanks for all your work.

      Your comment parallels mine. I too did industrial maintenance (mostly CNC machine shop). I insisted that my coworkers and staff were first of all troubleshooters. I wanted positive confirmation before we ever picked up a wrench. Here a wrong diagnosis could mean a repair invoice without solving the major problem, leading to a disgruntled customer. In our production shop world, chasing the wrong symptom took vital machinery out of production and didn't correct the problem. Most of my staff were not naturally born troubleshooters. I developed a training program to teach troubleshooting to my staff. This had the advantage of all of us approaching a diagnosis from very similar processes. We ran around the clock, forcing diagnosis and repairs to often be handed off to the next shift. We also insisted on documenting our troubleshooting process and results. This boosted confidence in a repair handoff between shifts. Even a wrong diagnosis, if well documented, could assist the following technician understand where the diagnosis derailed. This saved precious labor time, because the repair diagnosis or effort didn't have to go back to the initial starting point, only to the point where the diagnosis derailed. Additionally, we kept detailed repair summaries. I insisted that the repair history be fully documented before you moved to the next task. Good troubleshooters balked at this requirement, but with a repair database spanning 34 years and most of it digitally archived, less qualified technicians could follow established procedures. One of my coworkers wrote our maintenance data base software. Purchased software seldom included the heart of our troubleshooting or diagnosis data or searching for data was tedious. Our user friendly search engine allowed a data search in seconds.
      Early in my career, I could hire competent technicians. Management shifted reliance on qualified staff to sub par staff as the decades passed. This data base was an invaluable tool for the far less experienced staff that I was forced to rely upon. I had one technician that transferred to maintenance from a different production field. He never developed completely independent troubleshooting skills. He was too old to cross train into all of the necessary disciplines, yet he rapidly became one our most effective technicians by relying on our repair documentation. My guess is that my retirement diluted this departmental culture since I was the driving personality to maintain it. Shortly after my retirement, management shifted towards outsourcing laying off 90% of our production workforce. I had a delightful career, but I got out just ahead of all those changes. Surviving coworkers work in a very different environment, and I don't think that I would be like it. During my career Maintenance was the most prestigious and best paid of all the production staff.
      Eric is a troubleshooter. This is my primary draw to this channel. I thoroughly enjoy vicariously still "working with Eric" from my retirement recliner.
      My wife let me build a dream shop for my hobby and retirement pleasure. I built a 4800 SF building, and by keeping my old shop I have split hobby shop disciplines. Mechanic, fabrication, welding, machining is all in the new shop. Exclusive woodworking is in the old shop. I was abusing my mill, lathes and precision tools in a wood dust environment. Space is no longer a constraint. I just added an American Pacemaker lathe to my arsenal. I was shocked that it weighs around 9500 lbs. I thought that I could rig it easily with my 3T capacity hoist, but this new toy is posing a problem getting it home affordably.

    Excellent play by play and verbalization of thought process and systematic trouble shooting approach delivered in a manner that is understandable to me as a back yard mechanic type. This video was extremely helpful as now I understand how the 4wd system in a Chev S10 generally operates and helps me troubleshoot my 2003 S10 Blazer.

    I owned a 2000 chevy s-10 ZR-2 - same problem. I found that there was a vacuum leak on one of the heater controls that didn't leave enough vac for the 4 wheel drive actuator. On the chevy all the vacuum is linked together. Also solved some slow start problems.

      There is a vacuum reservoir in the DS front fender, with a vacuum hose that is notorious for rotting away and causing massive vacuum leak. Replace with silicone vacuum hose, all kind of vacuum, even with bad air distribution actuator. The only difficult part about this one is that the nipple going to the vacuum reservoir is difficult to find.

Measuring how much it pulled at the actuator and then down at the axle was smart and makes total sense.

      I got this in my feed today surprisingly enough. Anyway - my bet would be that the original cause was the cable had too high friction preventing a complete pull. Even if a cable moves it may not move enough. But when seeing the amount of rust on that car I suspect it's scrapped by now.
      If the transfer case is suspect - drain the oil to check for metal particles. Same for front axle.

You can always tell when someone's been pushed off the phone a bunch of times my other techs the customer will dump a laundry list in your lap if you've listened to them and fix their problem. Customers will get to a point where they trust you and they know you will listen and out comes the bucket full of problems. My last job I spent five years supporting register systems. In those five years I never had a customer I demand to speak to my supervisor. That was in my last review that I was there for. My supervisor asked me how do I do that. Perhaps you should have listened to me on the phone. the only time I heard from my supervisor if she had something to gripe about. That was a hell hole

    Another excellent video Eric, this was a really interesting puzzle, a mechanical puzzle compared to the usual electric gremlins you have to deal with.
    The earmuff on the camera did actually work out okay, the sound difference you could hear when the whirring of gears was interrupted by the clunking of the chain would have cued me in to the transfer case as well.
    Of course the glitter / metal shavings was also a nice confirmation to the issue.
    And as always, never underestimate the camera and UA-cam, in some way you can say that this time, UA-cam did help you out to finger that transfer case :P

    Had a similar problem on my 03 ZR2. Made the sound but was much quieter. My issue was the cable at the axle wasn't connected properly to the shift fork. Had to install and pull back repeatedly till it engaged, then 4X4 worked perfectly. After watching this video I was preparing to R&R a transfer case!

  • @n5syr01
    @n5syr01 4 роки тому +1

    FYI for future reference, disconnect the axle actuator from the vacuum source coming from the transfer case source and you can shift in and out of 4wd and have the front axle isolated from the transfer case. In THEORY it SHOULD work, but not all of the time. Helped me out a lot when I owned an 87 S10 for 20+ years.

  • @goodtackle9650
    @goodtackle9650 5 років тому +4

    Thank you for the effort. What puzzles me is that GM took the hassle to put a push ball switch on the axle and hooked it up somewhere but no light indicator what so ever on dashboard tells you the front axle is really engaged . No clue what that switch was really made for .

    • @wyatthull6613
      @wyatthull6613 5 років тому

      Good tackle that little switch tells the ECM that the driver has selected 4 wheel drive. In turn the ECU disables ABS, prevents the torque converter from locking up, and changes the shift points of the transmission.

    Hey Eric. I thought you diagnosed the problem in a very methodical way. The suspense was killing me. At least you got to the root of the problem. First time I heard the noise I said transfer case to myself only because I had seen the problem several times before in transfer cases as well as FWD transmissions. It sounds very similar. The actuator problem had me doubting myself however. I don't think GM ever learned how to make an automotive chain that lasted very long.

      Transfer case is made by New Process, not GM, and New Process transfer cases have been used extensively in every American brand of truck. A nearly identical model transfer case was used in Jeep SUVs for many years.

    I know this is an old video. I just started watching your channel and thought I'd comment on this. I recognized that sound instantly as the transfer case chain jumping. I first encountered it in a 1974 Dodge Ramcharger in 1977. In the early years, they used gear lube in the chain drive transfer case. The chain is like a timing chain and gear lube is too thick to properly lubricate it, especially in the winter. They changed the specifications to automatic transmission fluid in automatics and 10 weight oil in manual transmissions. Many people assume the transfer case uses gear lube. Best to check. Some have a plastic tag the fill plug that says what fluid to use.
    The shifter was moving far enough if it was able to turn the switch on.

    When you let us listen the front sounded dull and more like resonance, but the transfer cause had crisp mechanical sound to it. Until you let us listen I was sure the front coupler was skipping due to improper engagement over extended time. Goes to show you throwing parts at a rusty ole truck isn't always best. Great video.

    OK I admit that I might live in hell, but, I defy you to find a car in Phoenix (even if it's 50 years old) that has that much rust on it. Others applaud the chassis camera. It just made me ill. Crush it and move on brother. If I ground all of the paint off of my car it wouldn't look that bad ten years from now. It's amazing.
