Developed a scratching sound that I would have sworn were my brakes 2 weeks ago. Mechanic checked brakes while dingj oil change and said all was well. Took quick peak few times after work, but I admit it was half hearted at best.

Yesterday had a new sound, that clamp that breaks on shield over exhaust pipe in rear. While under the truck, I found my " bad brakes " noise that has been diagnosed as bearings, transfer case and brakes by my fellow shade tree mechanics.
Was small piece before I ripped it down, rubbing on top side of the drive shaft. Made me nuts for a couple of weeks.

 

You removed the built in automatic rear driveshaft polisher??

Some of the best pics I have seen for that.

Luckily, Binford sells an aftermarket replacement, I think it is the Binford 487 hanging drive shaft noise inducing polisher with attachment hardware.... complete kit.

 

You sure it wasn't Ronco?

 

Hummer's no good unless it's making some kind of noise....

 

Lmao.....drove me nuts for days. Was on inside, so a quick peak revealed nothing . Will have to crawl under and polish up the drive shaft myself going forward 😁
