2001 XJ 4.0L AW4 2" lift 31" tires...
Had her out in the desert last week and when i got back on pavement I started noticing a grinding sound and vibration under harder acceleration in first gear.
Now, when I had it off road I didn't do anything overly abusive except once when it was in 4lo and I gassed it pretty hard, lighting up all 4 tires.
I have searched for anyone having a similar issue, and I found a couple of instances where this grinding was due to a stretched transfer case chain. But, others suggested that you shouldn't feel this vibe when in 2WD. Stretching the t-case chain seems plausible since i did gun it pretty hard in 4lo, but if I shouldnt be feeling that in 2WD, what could it be?
Thanks for your help
