I ended up greasing with the slee tool and noise is gone. Also went back down a snap ring size thickness

I’ll attach my GoPro to the bottom and go for a drive let’s see if I can figure something out. I’ve never greased using the spindle tool on this car yet and I did go through so mud a month ago. Worth a shot so I can check that off as well

If noise doesn’t go away when shifting transmission in neutral and transfer case does that eliminate drive shaft possibility?

I have 187k miles so I guess I will inspect, maybe the needle bearing did go bad after a mud hole. I was chasing a rotational clunk ended up being a ring gear in the front diff. I guess needle bearing should be next. My FDS did have some marking on them but it I wouldn’t have thought that can...

New ring and pinion installed. Following the correct break in procedure. They provided 75-140w oil for the front diff. Clunking is gone as that was the pinion gear hitting the missing ring tooth. However I still have a hum not sure if it’s from the new diff, or my spindle bearings have to be...

Thank you for all the info on the knuckles and bearings. I have opened up one side wheel bearing which still had fresh grease, so I ruled that out. I have no play in my wheels at 12 and 6 or 9 and 3. Recently I had access to the back of the knuckle and there was grease on the brass bushing but...

I took apart the diff and there was this chunk also one tooth missing. I took it to get rebuilt along with bearings.

Where are you located? I’d be interested if you have 03-07 diff. YouTube video explains how the pinion bearing is usually the first to go with humming. He also had swirlies in his oil and after changing the bearings it was all good according to the YouTube videos. I think mine might’ve been low...

Sounds good thank you brotha:) What do you think went wrong with the diff? Any clunking or just the humming? I’d be interested if you took it apart to see what was wrong with it

Was your companion flange out of spec? It should be .0035” with a dial gauge. When you turn the companion flange.

I’m gonna be doing that

I’m gonna take the front diff apart, I watched a YouTube video that explains how the pinion bearing is the first to get starved or oil. I ordered a pinion bearing master kit from east coast gear supply. I have a feeling it went bad due to neglected diff oil changes and got pitted which is the...

I can but on the lift wheels and tires wouldn’t clunk or whine. On the ground messed up tires can’t make a clunking really either.

these are the shavings there weren’t a lot, size comparison to the razor blade. Still have loud humming on freeway and clunking up to 30mph.

Hello everyone, Last month I went wheeling in Big Bear after the snow they had, I went through a mud hole that caused my alternator to fail earlier this month. I ordered a high amp alternator and installed it, and everything has been fine since or so I thought. This past week, I decided to...
