89 XJ with SelecTrack Transfer case, Dana 44 with posi axle.
I'd like to isolate some growling noises emanating from my rear D44. I was thinking of jacking the rear wheels off the ground (on some stands) and putting it in Drive and using a mechanics stethoscope to try to isolate the sound. But then I recall that you're not supposed to have the rear wheels moving without the front's moving (for many years my XJ was exempt from provincial emissions testing because the dyno they used was only set up for 2WD vehicles. Can anyone confirm: is it OK to run the rear wheels only for a short time for some trouble shooting? Thanks for any advice.
