- 2000 Explorer XLT V8 AWD
Figured I'd try this again. This is the noise my 2000 V8 all wheel drive Explorer XLT mades when accelerating. Sometimes it isn't as bad if I am light on the gas. It doesn't do it decelerating, or while turning. Just while under acceleration. At first I thought the chain was slipping cause this noise, But I searched and searched on this forum and saw other people with what sounded like the same problem.
I'm also going to assume the Viscous coupler inside is what's allowing the back wheels to spin and not the front (While I am holding the brake down) or is my chain really stretched and slipping?
Please excuse my ugly mug in the picture. Wanted to make sure all my wheels got a chance to spin.
I'm also guessing removing the D shaft really won't pinpoint my issue, because if it is a chain slipping... Once it has nothing to put power to, it won't jump teeth.
The CV joint and boot look intact, and there isn't any play in either the U joint or the CV joint. But it still makes this noise.
Heres the video:
