Hello, I have a 93 non ZR1. But, I have D44 with 3.73 gears that is clunking. I got underneath the car and checked u joints, they are fine. But, when I had it neutral and moved the tires you can clearly hear a clunking noise in the diff, either way you move it.
I had Ikerds build this back in early 2000s while I lived in Hawaii. It has about 30000 miles on , 24000 miles on the island. I lived there 12 years..
Anyways, when cruising I was hearing a noise back there, and the end links were bad. Replaced those. U Joints have about 3000 miles on them. Spicers, I believe. But, no racing since being back here, just cruising a hot dogging it here and there, with a 396LT1 and auto..
Anyways, I have some almost new 3.33 gears, but, thinking of just rebuilding the Dana, and need suggestions, recommendations.
Thnx, Steve
