Hey there crowd.
We just got some snow in Pa in the last few days. I have been driving around town under 40mph in Full-Time 4x4. I have the 242 T-case in my 88' XJ. Today I got on the turn pike, I started to hear a loud hum from the front axle or t-case. When I got off the pike, I went into 2wd. Noise went away. Now I did notice some play in the front driveshaft at the axle end, when I changed the fluid a few months back. the diff wasn't as tight as the rear diff. I thought I might have to do with the ARB in the rear and open in the front. A local shop did the gear swap for me back in May.
So my question is this, do I need to have the front gears and backlash set back up to be as tight as the rear. Or is the t-case due for a rebuild. The t-case is the only thing in the driveline that hasn't been rebuilt in the last year. 235,111 miles on it.
Any help would be great. Thanks Juice
