I have a 95 4x4 318 with about 135000 mi. Everytime i put it into reverse it make a terrible "klunking" noise. I had the rear end rebuilt but it still makes the same noise. Just wondering if anyone has had simmilar problems and what it was caused by and how they fixed it.

Thanks

I have a '98 Sport with a 5.2 and an A-500 and I hear a noise similar to the sound of rollers engaging, maybe the overrunning clutch in the back of the tranny. I am also concerned about this.
So far I don't know what to do.

Is that the Jet A500 for your trucks? If it is, how is it compared to the old Mopar. My tranny is getting weak (filled it with water in a creek bed), and I am considering getting the A500. The best price so far is $2,400 (with shipping) and for a remanufactured Mopar about $2,300. Hopefully it will last till next summer when I have more $$$$$$$$.

Nope, mine is stock.
And by the way, I build an asskicking 360 for a friend that smokes 35" tires on his Ramcharger. Before we put the engine in we threaded the trans vent hole in the pump face, put a 90degree brass fitting in and then a tube going through the casing and up to the top of the firewall. He's been in major waterholes but no water got in his tranny. He figures it saved him his tranny last year. Too bad he revved the hell out of it while the harmonic balancer was hung up on a stump. NOW he needs a bottom end job on that engine.

Have you checked the U-joints? A common sign of a worn bearing is "Clunks" when shifting into Drive or Reverse.

Ya may want to get them checked, just in case. If one fails at highway speed, it'll either pogo-stick the trick or come crashing up through the bed. Depending on if it's the front or rear that fails.
