4x4 clunk noise....

[White WK Swagga]

Ive notices that I have a bit of a (clunk) noise from the drive shaft I believe when I go from a coast to accel. Is there anything I can do to damper the noise or shock from it? It's kinda annoying in traffic which I spend about an hour in daily mon-fri.

[B.P.O.D]

i believe that is your truck dropping to a lower gear

could be completely wrong... u going ot mario;s tonight? if so ill hear it and see:)

[White WK Swagga]

Yeah I'll be there. But I'll still be in 1st gear. I think it's from the drive shaft. I only hear it when I co from a stop or coasting and I go to acell. I've noticed that some 4wd/awd vehicles make that noise.

[B.P.O.D]

ok well maybe just maybe ill allow you to drive hte black panther of death around the block and we can see if you hear it in my truck!

[White WK Swagga]

OK. and I'll let you ride in the cargo area so you can hear the noise I'm talking about. LMFAO

[B.P.O.D]

ahhh u mean teh trunk that has ur bball that i used to dunk on you with??????? ahhh yes i rem the trunk:)

[08HEMIJEEP]

Thread moved to the WK forum!

You're completely wrong, Irf.

It's the torque converter and every dealer in the nation says the noise is "normal" and chrysler won't acknowledge a fix.

I get it tooooooo.

[LO.7]

I've noticed this too.. More so when letting off the gas and going down hill.

[blackpepper]

It happens a lot in traffic it goes away when 3rd or 4th gear hits but you get it a lot when going btwn 1st and 2nd.

Again, you post when you dont know what you are talking about.. MY 2005 5.7 Hemi is full time 4 wheel drive......So yes, I do drive in 4 wheel drive all the time....4 Wheel high...I also have a 4 Wheel low setting too for off road...

[Dylans3960ccs]

How should I know, my jeep isn't four-wheel drive, and I don't have a WK.

Alot of the older jeeps are full time four wheel drive too, depends on which transfer case you have...I dont know the exact breakdown.....My old 98 5.9 was full time four wheel drive too

[Robert Palmer]

Its the TQ converter.

I get it. Badddddddddllllyyy. I am used to it though. LOL

[05wkguy]

Strangely enough my old 87 Cherokee had the SelectracII (i think that's what it's called) with 2wd,4hi,4lo and AWD (non-locking 4wd but with limited fr-rear slip) It was awesome to leave it in AWD all winter and not have that jockeying around dry cornors.

[White WK Swagga]

Is there any mod I can do to stop this or damper the noise? My GF Lexus IS250 is AWD and I don't hear it in her car. That mofukah is tight!!! like the car is one solid piece. But I guess I'll have to live with it then....

haha that's what I do too!!!

It gets even worse with all the creeks and rattles during the winter when it's colder out.. I already started noticing them.

[Scottina06]

my jeep doesnt have it........so mine must be going bad......lol

[Robert Palmer]

Guys I do not think Scott owns a Jeep. He is always saying that he doesn't have the common annoyances we have. He must be driving a Honda Pilot. Anyone agree?




































:D :lol:

This has been a topic on the SRT8 forum too -- the analysis there is it's the drive shaft. Actually there's some play in the drive shaft connection from the tranny. There's a few solutions that have been offered that seem to solve it. Usually in the SRT8 it's happens when going from throttle to coast/stop.

LMAO Joe. Thats one for the sig...

[Scottina06]

I really dont....I never got the tranny lag most 4.7 QT2 guys have and I dont have the transfer case shudder thing.......no idea why?

[Megatron]

Nate, my friend. You need to pump up the volume. You gotta pump it up, pump it up.......

[White WK Swagga]

I do. I'm known to have the vol set at 22-26. Just I work 9-5:30/6pm and I have to drive 5 exits on the LIE (Long Island Expressway) in rush hour both ways. A normally 10 min drive is 30-40 min of stop and go.

[Megatron]

Jesus thats horrible. and i thought driving home on the bqe was wack during rush hour

[B.P.O.D]

dont you know pump it up!!!! im happy mine doesnt make the noise YET

[White WK Swagga]

You got to pump it up! Don't you know pump it up!! You got to pump it up...It's not so long ago... That the sound hit the nation.... Every saturday night... On your favorite radio...
