Okay folks, I just got back from the shop after having my gears redone and a detroit put in. The NEW specs of my rig are as follows:
97' Cherokee Sport
4.0
D30 front - 4.56 Gears
D44 rear - 4.56 gears, Detroit Locker
AX-15 5spd and the np231 with AA SYE
31x10.5 r 15 BFG ATs
Now, I understand that lockers make noise. I heard/felt numerous times a "clunk" that came from the rear of the jeep as I let on/off the gas
However, there was twice that I heard a different kind of noise coming from the rear. There was a very loud metallic clang bang sproing noise that came from the rear as well. This only occurred twice and followed by a slight jerk forward, and damn did it scare the poo out of me. When I got back he mentioned that he found one of my e-brake brackets for the D44 (drivers side) was in fact broken. I had noticed my e-brake not working earlier in the week.
Now, I want to know... Do people think that the noise is related to the locker? or brakes. What kind of noises does your Detroit SoftLocker make (spell it out the most phonetic way you can).
Mine was kinda like a "BUH-CLANGang"
