Need Help! I have a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4 Laredo 4.7 V8. It has 243,000 miles and I love it. After I have driven it for about 30 miles it begins to make an odd sound (like an electrical short or a muffled chain banging or dragging) it only makes this sound when I am decelerating. If I accelerate the sound goes away, let off the gas, it starts again. If I put the jeep in neutral when its happening the sound does not go away. Already had it in the shop once, the first thing that was pinpointed as the problem was the track bars. I really believe this has something to do with rotating equipment.I really need some advice. Please help!

Hey Eric,

I worked for a jeep dealer for 9 years and what your telling me sounds like a worn chain in the transfer case ( 4 wheel drive unit). The unit is after the transmission. When you decel the chain has slack which rattles inside the case. Best thing to do is have the shop drive the jeep in the air on a lift and check for noise. If it is the transfercase get a reman from a jeep dealer. Do not have it rebuilt because it usually doensnt last as long.

Good Luck Eric :)
