Third Diff's a Charm
I hope so. 
I took my truck in yesterday because I was getting "that" grinding noise in the front end again.
Talked with the service guy a little while ago and its the front diff again. Chipped teeth on the gear. They're going to take pics this time and send them to me.
It broke the first time back in Jan. before they came out with the "new" supposedly hardened gears  so I expected it to go at some point. But I can't really think of any times where it could have happened. Maybe one spot in Moab but that was a month ago.  You'd think I would have noticed it since I'm paranoid about every noise now.
I'm just glad I caught it before the Rubicon trip.

What kind of noise?
Was it at the stop or all the time.

all the trucks with these problems are getting wheeled harder every month than most H3's will get wheeled in its life time 
yes the front diff could be beefier or atleast equal to the rear . hopefully this will be resolved by 08-09 model year , the first couple years of H2 had similar troubles . if my second one comes apart i will let them replace it again 
Sewie , Bummer are you and HI in a competition ????? You gonna be back together for the Rubi ?? , good luck

oh oh , sounds like they are more concerned with engine upgrades than a bullet proof front diff . hope they dont plan on this being the front for the V8 we would see lots more ( i think ) fail in the real world .

Re: Third Diff's a Charm
Just got back from the Dealership.
Went for a spin with the Shop Foreman....he said whatever it is , it is not good.
I still think it's the front ring gear, he opened the door while we were moving, and MAN was it loud. Could be the rear ring gear or the T-case.
I'll side with f5 that it's not likely the t-case.
I'll know more later today! |

Re: Third Diff's a Charm
Man, with all these problems, now I have to worry about mine being an early-built, even though I don't drive it much anymore.

Its a grinding noise when you let off the gas and coast. It was really faint this time and could only really be heard if I was going 40MPH+.
Last time it was the same noise, but louder and very obvious.

Re: Third Diff's a Charm
Is it a continuous grinding sound even when coasting???? Do you have 5-speed manual or automatic?
