I very recently bought a 2000 ltd. from a reputable used car dealer here in NH. I am very happy with it, but if you listen very closely when cruising along under no load, you can hear a "rattling" kind of sound eminating up from the transer case area, almost a loose chain sound (not saying the chain is loose, just trying to describe the sound).
It also occassionally has a louder rattle at idle in gear that goes away if you push the transfer case shifter forward. I do not hear any noise when accelerating.
I did do several searches here and it seems like I made need some sort of bushing kit for the transfer case shifter. Anything else it might be instead or in addition?
This Jeep is under warranty, but instead of having non-jeep mechanics chase the sound, I'd rather trouble shoot myself and just have them do the repair.
Where can I find something official to print out and give to them descibing the problem/fix?
As always, thanks for the help!
