[QUOTE="scott degroot, post: 982371, member: 66039"] If I understand this correctly your saying that the front driveshaft is making noise. Unless you had a u-joint on the driveshaft that was bad there really isn't any way for the shaft to make noise and even if there were a bad u-joint the only way for it to make noise would be while in use and this only occurs while the vehicle is in 4 wheel drive and the front shaft is under a load. Is it possible that you have actually been driving around while in 4x4 due to a faulty xfer case encoder motor? Are you sure that the front differential isn't casuing the noise? (a bad pinion bearing will not casue the driveshaft to go bad) Does the noise happen only while in 4x4? What kind of noise is it? [/QUOTE]
