Hey guys. I have been around this site for a little while now, but this is my first thread.
My first question: When I'm locked into 4x4, either high or low, it makes an audible "whirring" sound when I turn. Sometimes it makes a kind of a "clunking" sound, but not always, and usually just once or twice during the turn.. I do not engage it or use it on dry pavement, only off road. The 4x4 works fine, I just wanted to ask and see if anyone else has this, and if its a sign of a problem or not. There is no noise when its in 4x4 Auto, unless of course the 4x4 engages.
I know noise isn't uncommon on 4x4's since there is no center differential to unlock while turning, but my Ex whines like crazy, yet my dad's 05 Xterra is whisper quiet in 4x4.
Second: When going over rutted or bumpy "washboard" roads, my roof and/of headliner is quite noisy as it starts vibrating because of the bumps. Does anyone else have this problem, and been able to find a way to quiet it down?
Thanks, Erik
