It's got the stock 3.55s. I have no complaints, it's definitely not the slowest vehicle I have. For the cost of new gears + setup, I'll probably just leave them alone for now and rock 4LO when I'm on the trails.

My list went from the grandiose swap axles, regear front, swap t-case to.........Fix the front axle. Seems like when I get on it to hard in 4wd it makes a grinding noise. Gonna pop the cover and find out whats wrong. it doesn't sound like its missing teeth like its owner.....Its silent in 2wd.

Aaron, that's funny that you're bashing yourself before we have the chance. LOL .

don't discount the t-case chain or the front driveshaft.
My odd noises in 4wd were front D shaft cardan joint. Never made a sound in 2WD.

It really sounds like something ratcheting really fast....sorta like broken locker pins. It could be the T-case Chain and I will check the front Shaft as well. Hope its not the case because there is no way I can get it swapped, the 8.8 in and the front regeared before WF.

Check your linkage to make sure it's fully in 4WD. It may work fine until you pull hard, then slip out. Either that or locker ratcheting like you were thinking.

I'll check that too. How can I determine if the chain is stretched or not? Slop in the case?

Ill trade you a tcase without a slip yolk. Itll bolt right in.
X2 on the linkage. Mine needs adjusted as well but it needs heated to break it free

split the case and measure the slack, or see the rounded off teeth on the sprockets.
You can swap the guts from your SYE case to the yoke case temporarily. Josh and I frankensteined one on a picnic table, you can get it done.

Not enough time, not enough space, and no other running car to get me to work if need be. I'll still be there to annoy the hell out of you guys, don't worry!

Crap, that reminded me to get some tires on the single place...
I think they are at least 4 years old with at least 15 to 20k on them...
