Hi technicians,
I have an 04 Rainier with AWD only. They AWD went out last year. I have read posts on this site and others covering the last ten years on disconnect and actuator failures. With the vehicle on blocks and running the forward driveshaft turns and some bad sounds are coming from differential area. Front wheels do not turn.
Trying to isolate a INTERMEDIATE SHAFT BEARING ASSEMBLY aka (Disconnect) failure or a differential failure? The ISBA functions differently for the Rainiers then the disconnect for the TB/Envoy I believe? Is it possible/probable that the ISBA would cause the AWD to fail in this manner?
