Grinding Noise While Backing Beaver Monterey Off Soft Ground

[Alexad99]

I just tried backing my 06 Beaver Monterey from soft ground onto hardtop (uneven ground) and got stuck, tried to accelerate through and RV stopped moving along with a loud grinding noise, Did I just fry the tranny, or is a drive shaft issue?

Whichever it is it’s probably going to be an expensive lesson.

I was already fully aware that it probably will be an expensive fix, I come onto these forums for advice from smarter people than me for guidance, not to be reminded that I just made a mistake or ran into some bad luck. If you have nothing to offer as far as technical advice, then PLEASE do not respond.

Might be a pig problem (The Pig is the nick name for the differential)

Might be the tranny.

Might be the drive shaft.

Might be something else

In any case.. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

IF you have a warranty.. Read the fine print and call them.

Why aren't you not rolling under to take a look,??, jack one side up and rotate a rear wheel,, see if you have movement in any U joint >>>Dan

Did you expect some solid technical advice because you heard a loud grinding noise?

Could you tell at all where the noise came from? While I'm not a transmission expert, I wouldn't think that it was the cause of a grinding noise but would lean toward the differential pinon gear, or possibly a broken axle. A search does suggest that the transmission could do that from the torque converter.

Unfortunately, I don't know of any way to be sure without the help of a good mechanic and probably a wrecker to move the RV.

This is a textbook example of varey little traction onto very good traction suddenly,, and it usually exerts more axel twist on one of the two axles,, the result is expensive and labor intensive..>>>Dan

My guess it’s was an axle or driveshaft. No way to really know with limited info we have.

Did you try moving it again? If it still makes the noise, have someone listen and try to figure out where the noise is coming from

Alexad99.... Have you found out yet what the problem is?

Curious minds would like to know.

That seems to be a common trend. Too bad as we could all learn from these when outcome is known. Oh well.
