1999 Blazer - Strange Sound Front End
On my way home today, driving 70 MPH, I noticed a strange sound which seems like its coming from the right front passenger side area. I sounds like when you hit the rumble strips on the road, you can hear it for a few seconds and then it stops, then it comes back again. I heard the sound at 70 MPH and down to 10 MPH.
I have a video with the sound but can't upload til I'm home. Engine light is on but its only the P0410 code. ABS light is not on, truck runs good, etc. I don't hear anything when I make a sharp right or left turn. |
Looks like it wasn't the wheel hub assembly, it's possibly the transfer case. I noticed a small leak in the seal few days ago, doesn't look bad at all and only been leaking a short period of time. 5 days ago I got stuck in mud, put her in 4 wheel high, no go, put her in 4 wheel low and got right now, but not without a loud bag up front. I don't off-road so the truck isn't abused. I simply drove up to a creek and there was two big ruts. Anyways, the noise in LOUD and constant. I put it in 4 wheel high and the noise isn't there, put it back in 2 high and it sounds like gears are grinding, still have power, it takes off but the noise is there.
Anyone run into this before? |
Found out the problem, turns out the guy that rebuilt the tranny, didn't add any transfer case fluid. We added a quart and a half, so basically was dry. No more noise.
