Hi all
Just bought a 91 Sierra soft top for $2500 (not a bad buy).
Had a patrol before and can already see this is going to be a better 4by.
However, took it on the highway for the first time yesterday and it makes a grinding noise (from underneath centre of car) for about 1 second every 500 metres or so. Really weird, I think it could be the gearbox.
Only does it when going over 80km/hr.
Any ideas?

grinding noise on highway
it can still be driveshaft vibes or tcase mounts - it can be related to the vibrations caused at certain RPM etc... check tcase mounts and unis first...
if it is a buggered gear though - best to look at if you're planning bigger tyres in future or not - if so, hold off till it dies and you can do reduction gears and tyres at the same time... otherwise a new box from a wrecker will be the cheapest option and is an easy bolt-in solution.

hey mate, i suggest dumping the oil in both the cases and putting in some VMX 80.. it WILL feel alot better, and you will notice a difference noise wise.. not a permanent fix.. but certainly a worthy addition. there was a thread recently about it, check the first few pages..
