A friend if mine at work brought in his sons 95 XJ for me to take a look at. He said he could here some strange noise coming from the drivetrain, the faster he drives the louder the noise gets.
I took the Jeep for a ride and I could here what sounded like a chain dragging over a piece of metal. When I looked under his Jeep I saw a two inch hole had blown through his t-case from the inside out, on the lower part of the housing facing the rear of the vehicle.
Have any of you come across a Grenaded t-case like this before? and what would cause it?
I now think the noise I heard was the chain spinning and dragging across the inside of the case, but I was under the impression that the chain would only turn if you are in 4WD.
Any help would be appreciated, the son plans on driving this Jeep from CT to Florida in a few weeks and dosn't know if it would be safe to do with the current problem.
Thanks
