The rubber inside the baering that holds the drive shaft in place in torn apart from havey exceleration and spinning the tiers. I need to figure out how to take the bearing off the drive shaft but the drive shaft that is int eh truck is from a 1995 dodge ram so what do i do?

from what you are describing the generator is a 15 kva unit bolted to the back of a deutz engine
check the end of the alternator armature for a bolt head. it is possible that there is a long bolt going through the centre of the armature shaft and holding the armature to the crankshaft on a taper
some older units used 4 rubber blocks in the drive from the crank shaft and there is a plate to retain them in place ( They were a safety device to protect the unit from damage if the mains power come back on while the generator was running. The out of phasing would stop the armature and rip the rubber blocks up)

Could be your u- joint.Here's a link,if this is not it,let me know and we will keep looking,I have a 85 Nissan 4x4 and had to replace both parts that hold the u- joint,kept vibrating and had loss of power,was making a noise that was hard to pin point.

If you can figure out what side it is coming from, it is probably the velocity joint in the half shaft (drive shaft) going to the wheel. Please rate my answer so I am rewarded points for it.

check your center support bearing on the shaft assembly. its most likely broken. its somewhat in the middle og the drive shaft. it has rubber boot. something tells methat the boot is torn and bearing has play in it. check and replace if you see separation/beeing broken.

hello, i have a chevrolet dually, the carrier bearing, in mine was doing this, i took it apart, pulled both driveshafts apart then took carrier bearing off, the bearing inside was dry, plus they had a bblue look to them, bearings was bad, plus rubber around the bearing was dry rotted, there is know way of greasing these bearings because they are sealed, i pull bobcats, tractors, with mine if you use it for a lot of heavy pulling, they dont last a long time, chevrolets carrier bearing is all made together, bearing and rubber is made together, on mine, seems like i paid about 35.00 dollars for mine, spray some wd-40 around driveshaft where it goes into bearing, i had to take a hammer to mine to get it off front drive shaft, it was stuck pretty bad.

check your front wheel drive axles/half shafts, see if the rubber boots that cover the bearings are not torn or missing.. sounds like you might need to replace the axle/half shaft on the passengers side

You should be able to separate the drive shaft from the CV joint, once you pull the boot back. I believe the shaft is retained to the inner part of the CV joint by a retainer clip, this is what you'd typically find. Just replacing the CV boot alone makes separating them necessary.

make sure the new axles match up to exact length of old ones. sometimes aftermarket or rebuild cv axles are slightly shorter also possible the new axles are for a different model passat, thus when tightening the new axle in place it slips out.

to do this right, you have to remove the axle and separate the rzeppa joint in the inboard axle. Typically, by the time you purchase the boot, grease and figure the time it will take you, along with the constant slide hammer beating, then you will decide to purchase an entire axle with a lifetime warranty somewhere. Stay away from A1 Cardone. Get a new one if you can afford it, or a good reman from Napa, Carquest, Worldpac or IMC.

You'll thank me later for the trouble this will save you.

Is the car stick shift or auto. Sound like a problem with either the transmission which is spinning all the time even when sat still. Or the Rear axel is tuffed out..
