setup in question:
4.0L
AW4
NP242
After our first snow fall last week and some hi-way 4x4 driving (full time) my tranny now has a bad sounding knock. Its not constant, its not all the time. I can be in gear or not, in any 4x4 option or not. The only time it goes away is while in motion, even than if its slow I will get a rattle. So with it stopped I got under neigth and listened to where the sound was coming from. It not the engine, too far forward for the t-case, and it seems to be the houseing between the AW4 and the engine (that may be the front of the tranny I am not knowledgable about these things)
Now this will go on for a while, than after a drive (10km) its gone. Come back home its sounds fine, shift into 4x4 and drive, and it starts again. The sound is still coming from the same place but it seems to be activated (after going away) from shifting into 4x4.
The vehicle runs fine, shifts gears fine and I am bringing it in to get re-geared this week so it won't be on the road much and would be a good time to make changes/fix it if need be.
I have searched, read, re-read and searched some more but can not find anything other than;
bad motor/tranny mounts, exhuast loose, etc etc.
Seems there have been a few knocking threads lately, but none are this specific and none of what worked for them is working for me.
on a side note, with my 242 on a snowy wet slippery asphalt road what should I be driving in?
manual says slippery roads 'part-time' normal asphalt 'full-time' I am not sure of what I should be in for each road type, and don't want to bugar anything up... if I haven't already.
Thanks for any and all help
