Driving in 4 HI, normal highway sounds. When I shift to 2WD, the 4WD does disengage, but sounds like the T-case is in 4 LO. Gears whining, but no grinding. When I get below 5mph, I hear a clunk and everything sounds normal. Put it back in 4WD and everything sounds and works fine Re: 4WD noises when 2WD selected on T-case [Re: sled207] #708218 03/20/06 11:40 PM Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 16,227 Bay Area, CA off-roader Web Wheeler Do you back up for up to 12ft after shifting out of 4WD?

Even though the 4WD disengages, the front drive is still turning.

Also did you unlock the hubs?? If you didn't the front driveshaft is turning the FWD part of the t-case wich might explane the noise in 2wd if the chains or bearings are gone bad. An oil change costs just a few $ and might solve the prob. 1987 SWB Pajero 2.5 TDI on 31" rubber waiting for a hip replacement and bigger shoes Re: 4WD noises when 2WD selected on T-case [Re: PartyTruck] #708223 03/21/06 02:15 AM Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 38 SW Alaska S sled207 OP Getting the Wheeling Fever The hubs are the auto free type. I'm wondering if they are not disengaging. I had trouble getting them to engage the other day. If I had manual hubs in the locked pos, T-case in 2WD, would I not get the same noise while driving?

If the poor thing is a bit worn out it might make a whine if it turns the chains without load from the engine. 1987 SWB Pajero 2.5 TDI on 31" rubber waiting for a hip replacement and bigger shoes Moderated by  4x4Wire, Macka, Mudraider, off-roader, PHIL_, rxinhed  Hop To Mitsubishi Forums ------  Mitsubishi 4x4 and SUV Tech  Mitsubishi Diesels  Mitsubishi ArchiveToyota Forums ------  Early Toyota Trucks  Toyota 4Runner, FJ Cruiser &...  T100 & Tundra Forum  Tacoma Forum  Toyota Tech ArchiveJeep Forums ------  Jeep Talk  Jeep TechIsuzu Forums ------  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Talk  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Tech  Isuzu DieselsKia Forums ------  Kia Talk  Kia Sportage & Sorento TechOff Topic Chat ------  4x4 Gallery  Off-Topic Chat  Recreational Access & Land ...  Politics4xForums ------  Outdoor Gear  General 4x4 Discussion  Tools and Fabrication  General Communications  Amateur Radio  GPS and MapsParts Bin ------  Private Party - Garage Sale  Private Party - Items wanted  Vendors, Hot Deals, Group Buys4x4Wire Back Yard ------  Suzuki Forum  AZ Crawler Crew  Cal-Nev Crew  General Ford 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Dodge 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Chevy 4x4 & SUV ForumFeedback & Testing ------  Problems, Questions, Suggestions4x4Wire Staff ------  Forum Moderators  Problem Threads Print Thread Switch to Threaded Mode 5 Excellent 4 Good 3 Average 2 Bad 1 Terrible View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Homepage Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Homepage Follow User Forum Posts
