Damn, you have had more rear brake pads replaced in that vehicle, than I have ever replaced since disc brakes were installed.

Go tell the dealer to put the chassis ears on the t/case, or have a technician strap himself to the bottom of the vehicle with tie straps with his ear on the t/case and listen to see if the sound is coming from the case.

Take that bulletin I posted, and tell them to fix the damn thing right. Tell them you know someone who had the same noise, and the noise went with the t/case.

Good luck.

Mine was built: 04/27/2005. It was almost considered a captured test vehicle. Only trips to the dealer for H3 service was the top off of the t/case fluid, a new TCCM, and then I had the t/case replaced. For such an early built vehicle, I sure did luck out.

I called the dealer today .I emailed them link to video/sound file they could not open it.they said links and attachements are blocked.Im bringing it in friday,they said they have the ears to locate were sound is comming from.They also said the trans case buletin shows no fix ? I said replacment would fix it if thats the problem,he said he dont know?
I will bring my camera with the video/sound file on it also when I go in and hang out to see what happens.

I do wonder were the noise is comming from hopefully they can locate it.

Noise travels down the driveshaft to the axle and out. That is what I was told today. In my case, the new t/case did fix the problem.

Its going to the dealer friday morning ,I hope they figure it out and know how to use the ears properly.

My brother said my noise sounds similar to when you put it in park when your still rolling.
