Sounds like it's either the front diff or the t-case. It only occurs in 4wd and when I am giving it gas. The sound is almost like a stretched chain that's slipping on the teeth or something. Is that a possibility? Would that only happen in 4wd or would be all the time.
I swapped the front drive shaft out with one from a lower mileage XJ and while it was in better shape, the noise continued. I was hoping maybe it was a bad u-joint on the shaft.
96 XJ 4.0/AW4/231, HPD30 with 4.88s, 33s, D44 rear with Detroit, 166k miles, crappy paint...um, I think that covers all the bases...
