Is this ok to do? I am starting to think this could be the issue. The only problem is that I would have to drive 10-15 miles this way, would that be ok?
I've removed the front drive-shaft and drove around a lot and the issue continues.
Because I saw a leak from the rear output-shaft seal on the transfer case when I replaced the guibos, I am planing on doing a transfer case fluid flush and replacing the seal this weekend.
I am starting to believe maybe its low on fluid and that's what's causing the issue (clutches are slipping due to low fluid level?). I am thinking this because the issue does not show up until 10-15 miles into a drive (once everything is warm). if it was an unbalanced drive-shaft it should shake regardless of how warm the car is.
