Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I started to get a strange loud noise today from my 2005 GU. Only started today. A loud whine, that increases with road speed. A bit like a bearing or gear noise in my final drive. It really sounds like an aircraft running up before takeoff. I am having to turn my stereo up to drown it out.

Dunno what it could be. The only thing I have done today is put a set of JT2s on it.

Haven't swapped out diff gears lately? I seen a landcruiser that had the bearing caps come loose on the carrier and the crown wheel was actually rubbing on the back of the housing. Stuffed the splash guards in the axle tube and r00ted the axle seals to boot.

Don't drive on bitumen. That will fix the problem.

Are you taking the piss?

If not, i vote for pinion/carrier bearings.

Yeah, I reckon only driving on dirt will work. Just wondered how many people would post an answer without fully reading what I had said.

But they are bloody noisy on the road.

Are you being tailed by police aircraft , speed fines heading your way .

oh good one, JT2's what you think was gunna happen

the Peds make enough noise at road speed the JT2's are even worse

didnt forget to take your play tyres off after the weekend did you

G'day Bundyrumandcoke,

I had a similar noise from my GU recently after a gentle trip off road. Coming home along the highway started to notice the noise. Up and down with speed. Pulled over to investigate and found the front still driven. Transfer case was in 2H, but hadn't reversed up enough ( or as I have found out since, reversed too much, as the auto hubs can re-engage in reverse ).

Hope this helps...

mate had a similar problem on my 80 series with the xtrek2s sounded as if the roller coaster at dream world was coming in to stop. Now all though a quick repair to rectify this problem it was a hard one via taking the 36s of and puttind the 31s back on. I know this will make your truck look soft but i think this is the only fix unless you can stay of road. iI hope this helps.

auto hubs continually lock/unlock as you drive?

herd tis a problem with some model patrol- cant tell ya wich one
