Yea if you want to ride down and still go I have no problem having a passenger..
Or..... work like hell and dont miss the biggest east-cost XK meet every!
Drain the tcase fluid. If it looks good, refill with fresh fluid and focus on the front diff. Do the same with the front diff. If one of them have a lot of clutch material in the fluid you'll know where to focus your energy.
Well there shouldn't be any clutch material in my front diff. I don't have QD II. Id like to pull the cover and see if any teeth are missing from the ring gear. As far as the t-case I'll drain it this week and see what the fluid looks like.
For some reason I keep thinking you have QDII... i guess the awesomeness of the snorkel and bigass 33s always leads me to that conclusion! lol
What kind of noise are you getting? Missing/chipped teeth will normally result in an annoying whine sound
It's not that loud ass pop us QT2 guys get when those spydr gears cut loose is it? Anyway I think you should come and just not push it to much. I know being that far from home still dealing with rubbing issues myself I won't be going crazy either. As looks right now I should be free to leave Friday anytime I want :) so far anyway it's looking good.
I rubbed on all 4s but that is cause of my lift, I will have the OME by months end, Im about done with this spacer lift!!! Adam I know we have been weighing heavily on the transfer case but when you are in 4lo your wheel speed is higher and if you're missing teeth on the pinion gear thats what that noise could be. Discussing it with pops for awhile today, if it were the chain we wouldnt still be talking if its happening as much as you say. Id like to hear what Sal is referring to about the spydr gears cut loose, maybe thats a route you can take.
On the qt2 when the brake grabs the spinning wheel to force the power to the other side it makes this horrible popping noise in some situations. Pretty much at the higher wheel spin this happens. The brakes just stop the tire cold so all that power has to go somewhere and that's the noise we here. But after thinking about it I know he runs with his traction control off pretty much so thats probably not what he is hearing.
When ever my XK goes into 4 low I push and hold down the traction control button until it reads ESP disabled on the dash. However I know that doesn't totally disable the traction control because I do the same method at Rausch Creek and can get two wheels on the opposite axles up in the air and still climb rocks no problem. So the traction control is still kicking in and applying the brakes to that tire in the air. The only way to totally disable the traction control is to pull the fuse, or flip the switch I built in to the fuse box to disable it. But then the jeep sucks off road because of the open differentials and getting power to only one wheel on each axle. If I had a rear ARB it would be a different story.
