My 96 sport with a NP231 makes a grinding noise in 4H, not really in 4lo and not in 2wd. After searching the threadsI think its a stretched chain, I see some threads talk about performing a chain stretch test, is this just taking the old one out and checking the lateral play? IF so, whats teh tolerance? How else do I check it? I thought maybe tehre was some method that didnt involve pulling the transfer case apart. Thanks for you help.
PS- I am partly considering just putting in a "new" used case form the boneyard, as I think I can get one for free or really cheap. Anyone have an idea what a good price from teh junk yard should be for a complete one, with less than 150K miles on it (I pull vs they pull?) My case has a slow leak as it is, so thats why I am considering goign this route,
- what are otehr tolerances I should check for inside?- those little plastci sliders? ect?
I plan on obviously checkig the "new" used chain for play too. thanks again!
