took the evader out to run a pack threw it....did not make it.
1st, the servo started going. wouldn't turn full to the right...eventually wouldn't turn at all. I had tightened down the servo saver, guess the servo couldn't handle it.
2nd, part way threw (couple of minutes) the trans started making a noise. I don't think it is any of the main gears, as the truck does not lose speed or power. it is possible I guess, that a screw from the diff case is rubbing the trans case. other possible thing is the diff gears are wearing. but the noise kinda comes and goes, and when I looked at the diff gears they looked OK to me. Im leaning towards the diff case screw hitting the trans case. The diff had side to side play, so that could explain the noise coming and going. I might just replace the whole diff. It was a $90 truck, so putting $15 into it isn't that bad. Oh, and a metal gear servo, lol.
