hello all and happy new year!
i have a 1990 GMC SUBURBAN SLE V1500 4x4 with about 342K on the body
350 with the 4 speed auto transmission
recently while i was driving it, i would hear a loud popping-type sound while coming out of a 90 degree turn at relatively low speed. this happened about twice. then, a few days later, after coming out of another 90 degree turn, i heard two loud bangs that sounded like someone dropped a pair of bowling balls on the roof, only it sounded and felt like it came from underneath the floorboard. i pulled over and looked underneath, i was sure something down there had broken off or something terrible like that had happened. i didn't see anything out of the ordinary, but when i got back in the driver's seat, i couldn't shift it back into gear. i could move the shifter easily, and i would occasionally hear that grinding sound like when you're shifting a 5 speed and you can't find the gear, and when i stepped on the gas, the spedometer would rev up like it thought the vehicle was moving, but it was sitting still. i was close to home so i just took it back to the house and it's been sitting in the driveway motionless ever since.
does ANYBODY have ANY idea what might be the problem here? a friend of mine suggested the rear end might be tore up since the spedometer started revving up even though i was sitting still. any thoughts or suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated here. i'm not afraid to spend a little to get it fixed, but i definitely don't want to spend a whole lot on just figuring out what's wrong with it and i definitely don't wanna get screwed if it is something serious.
THANKS YALL
