Hey All,
We've got the first real winter blast since I got my 97 XJ with the NP242.
I put it in full time 4WD a few days ago and left it there.
When I first put it in and out accelerate from a stop, I would get what I thought was chain or gear noise. Not slapping the case.
After the first 50-80 miles the noise has pretty much gone away and things are much quieter.
Any ideas what may have shifted or moved around inside or cleaned itself out?
I put a SYE in back in September and at that time the insides looked good. I could not identify any real chain slack and put the original chain back in. All that was changed was the front output bearing and rear output bearing. The rear was changed because the SYE came with a new output housing including the bearing and seal.
