Sk8terwill78 Welcome to my thread :mrgreen: - Page One, Broken Pinion - I'd been having some issues with my TJ. Almost like the sound you'd get when you put a card in bike spokes as a kid. It didn't have anything to do with the engine because when I rev'd in neutral it sounded clean, it also hadn't (until recently) made any noise when just coasting. On my way to work one night it wasn't very noticable until somewhere half way between home and work it got really loud and had me questioning weather or not it would make it the rest of the way. It almost sounded like a diesel except it wasn't comming from the engine and I only heard it when I put it in gear and gave it gas, really quiet when coasting but it was still there.
jeepsr4ever Check your fluid levels, your tcase has a chain and can sometimes sound harsh when ran dry
durbs If you still have the stock exhaust manifold (on a older tj) chances are it is cracked, or broke and that can make some really wierd sounds rattling around..
Sk8terwill78 I think we have it pretty much pin-pointed. Check out this thread at MN-Jeep.com http://www.tristanroux.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1768 Thanks for your input guyz
mrtazwrench I HAD A COMANCHE WITH A 35 AND 31" TIRES, BLEW THE STOCK DIFF TWICE, PUT IN A TRACK-LOK, LASTED UNTIL I SOLD IT.
jeepsr4ever could be will.......could be. I wouldnt say its pinpointed yet though...I hope its something stupid simple for you and cheap to fix

Sk8terwill78 Lifted79CJ7 wroteMight as well go ahead and regear!! I was going to do that, but then I found a D35 strait form another 00TJ... what luck, I picked it up for 250.00 and it's being installed this week :lo1l:
Sk8terwill78 Next fix should be intresting. I'm picking up a Transmission from a 98TJ (for $150.00) with about the same amount of miles on it as my 00TJ has. Should be a fairly simple swap (same bolt pattern), unbolt old transmission and rebolt new/used transmission right? :-| Wanna make a day out of this MC? Help me put my shit back together? :?:
jeepsr4ever Not this weekend I am taking this saturday off to attend a team mudd event in beroun details at teammudd.com and then its back to work on sunday :oops: ...I would gladly throw in a new grind box with ya/for you...if i had the time :sa:
Sk8terwill78 Kick a$$ bro, it would be good to hang out with ya again and do a little wrenching =D> If the weather is nice we should fire up a grill, maybe get a few other people interested :wink: Just dont come over here to drink my beer, rip out my rear-end and then leave ::lol:
