Whitford's LJ really makes me want to build an expedition style rig. If I could afford to, I'd do it to a 24v Ram diesel quad cab short bed, but since that's way too expensive, I think it'll be a Jeep WJ.

I don't know if I mentioned before but my car's blower motor was broken when I purchased it. The PO seemed to think it was a $500 job so he deducted that from the purchase price; he said it hadn't worked in about a year and never had the scratch to fix it.
So today, I took it to this mechanic I know here in the city. He's one of those 'best kept secret' types and resembles Yoda in more ways than one. Anyway, he took a look at it and had the thing working within 5 minutes. The ****ing fan power switch was broken and was simply not turning the dial behind the climate controls. I'm going to a dealership tomorrow to have the knob replaced. It will probably cost me $3. ----- I also stopped into Dirty Parts which is a 4X4 shopped recommended to me by a bartender friend as well as on JeepForum. After having already stopped into the local 4WheelParts retailer, Dirty Parts was like a breath of fresh air. Tiny place but stocked to the brim with cool, quality parts. Very knowledgeable staff as well. I will definitely be doing a lot of work there. |

Anyone else bummed about Jamboree for the north east?! I was a few days late looking to register and they are all sold out. Not to mention Killington is level 6+ because of the hurricane.

If 4x4 shops were medical conditions, 4WheelParts would be AIDS. So terrible.

A noise developed today (or I just noticed it for the first time) from what seems to be my transmission.
At very low speeds I'm sometimes encountering a slight whine and then each time I come to a stop, there's a sort of decelerating whine/howl that's fairly quiet. Any ideas as to what this could be? Planetary gears? Thanks. |

Any idea where the noise is coming from? If it sounds like it's coming from the center of the vehicle, you may be right. Given how you described it, I want to side with Dan... diff/axle-related.

It sounds like it's coming from the center of the Jeep, right under and a little in front of the shift lever.
Thanks, guys. I'm hoping it's not a sign of the transmission being on the way out. When I had it looked at before buying it the mechanic said the tranny looked fine. |

Just took it out for a drive so I could record the sound and it wasn't happening anymore. Weird, maybe it was a fluke?

I encountered the noise again so I recorded it:
Any ideas? It happens whether I am in gear or not, and only when the car is moving forward. |

I had a U-joint fail on my old Toyota pick up that sounded similar to that.

Meeeeh, it was more of a constant noise exaggerated by breaking.
Easy way to check is to get under there and start yanking on things with U-joints to see if there's any play... But I think I'm wrong now that I've reconsidered it without alcohol. |

Maybe weight transfer caused by decel is making something that's loose rub. Like the body on the frame or a worn out suspension part. I'll run it by some of the guys at work and see what they think.
