2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Ltd transfer case whine

More likely a differential or transfer case problem.

Hi Charotte,your engine is not a interference engine.So your in good shape.

that sounds right

The noise you are hearing may be caused by a loose or worn serpentine belt and is slipping during all engine speeds while under load. It could also be a worn serpentine idler pulley that has worn out. These are just two areas for you to consider,but it is hard for me to tell without actually hearing the noise. Take the vehicle to an autoparts store and have someone check these engine components for a possible cause. They won't charge you anything.

The ticking noise is most likely your tranfer case chain. the chains in this case...overtime....will stretch, causing the chain to have enough slack the hit the bottom of the case.

Give a try by change your transmission/filters and Transfer case oil.

It could be the 3rd member bearings (rear end). Could also be syncros
in trans. Need to put on a lift and run to hear problem.

pull belt off and turn pulleys until u find bad one. first start jeep with belt off and make sure its not in motor. check power steering fluid. dont leave motor running for 2 long with belt off

Check the fluid level in there. If it was low for an extended period, change fluid. Whining is often caused by low fluid level, but is also a symptom of internal wear. If fluid change does not help, it needs to be rebuilt or replaced.

ck fluid level of diffs, and transfer case
