- 2002 FORD EXPLORER V6
Ok, so i have a 2002 Ford Explorer 4wd.
I have a situation where when driving uphill or just accelerating something starts to grind. It has a brand new transmission in it so we know it isnt that as we had it inspected as that was my first throught.
Interesting thing is that If i put the car into 4x4 high it will not make the grinding noise. then if it take it back off it will grind again. It only seems to happen if I am putting a decent amount of torque on the system.
all of the bearings are new. brakes, rotors are all new. new transmission.
I changed the rear diff fluid but no help. I brought the car to the ford mechanic but somehow when he took it for a test drive he couldnt get it to grind (fml). He checked the u joints for me and they are all fine.
Is anyone else experiencing this? I dont know if it could be the rear diff pinion and spring? transfer case? i really dont know. Besides that the car runs perfect. let me know if you have any ideas. thanks!
