[QUOTE="Collin Lyon, post: 809323, member: 64646"] My experience happened when I'm driving, and going 30-35pmh+, you start hearing the ticking (not bump-related). Sounded like it was coming from the middle vents, like something stuck in there. I had a tech drive it, and came back in 3 minutes later saying he heard it, too. I have this documented on this site but Readers Digest version - they replaced the transmission once, transfer case 2X, had several regional / national engineers inspecting my Trac with no resolution. It took a lower-level engineer saying "the customer is hearing it from inside the Trac, let's look there'. After about 20 minutes, they figured the noise was coming from under the gear shift. They disassembled it, and found the grommet just laying loose. Took about 20 minutes to take gear shift off, replace grommet, and put gear shift back on. Go figure . . . [/QUOTE]
