'97 Cherokee noisy 4wd
I put the Cherokee into fulltime 4wd for the first time today and it
makes an intermittent drivetrain noise. Can't really describe it - I
suppose a sort of rumble/road noise. It did it once when turning
right and at other times it just came and went. When I went back to
2wd it stayed in neutral, and also stayed in neutral when I tried to
re-select 4wd. I stopped and reversed and it then went back into
either 2wd or 4wd fine, but the intermittent noise is still there.
I've had 4 new tyres fitted today, so the wheels should all be the
same size ;)
I doubt that the previous owner rarely, if ever, selected permanent
4wd or even played with the lever. What servicing should I do, and
any idea on the noise?

Re: '97 Cherokee noisy 4wd
It stayed in neutral with the shift lever moved?
Ouch.
That implies something internal to the full time diff.

I was in 2WD and I moved to permanent 4WD OK (whilst driving). I then
went back to 2WD since the 4WD was noisy and lost any drive. No drive
in either 4wd or 2wd. I stopped and reversed OK then it went into
drive OK.

Re: '97 Cherokee noisy 4wd
Ouch again, I did read that right...
I hope that is something in the design, but hitting and staying neutral
when the shifter has moved is not a good thing at all......
Hopefully someone here knows more than I about them.
