once again Sign In

once again i am on here asking for help haha
i have a 96 bravada awd and the clicking noise which was heard before seems to have gotten worse.
now it seems to click, click ,click then pop and then click again when i put it in reverse or drive. after a couple of feet it seems to go away but sometimes on the highway it sounds like a chain is rattling underneath while picking up speed. sometimes it doesnt make any noise at all. i thought maybe the transfer case but the fluid looked clean. and i was also thinking maybe a u joint but i would think it to be vibrating as well if it was.
thanks for all the help thus far.

Brian; I'm assuming that the vehicle has to be moving to hear this? Is this AWD or 4WD? The noise you are describing sounds, to me, transfer case noise. There is a chain.

wouldnt there be metal shavings or particles in the fluid for the t-case then. do you know if there is any other way to check if the chain is loose. and if not do you know about how long something like that would last before it would break bc im kind of tight on money at this time. heck who isnt lol.
thanks again

Brian; You'd think that you'd see metallic particles in the fluid.Unsure You might want to drain out a bit into a clear container and look closely. A reputable trans. shop should be able to diagnose this for you. Don't hesitate to get several opinions. I'd recommend staying away from the 'chain' stores, though.

breckert; I'd recommend taking it to a shop that can lift the vehicle and run all four wheels at the same time, then listen with a stethescope to determine the origin of the noise. Changing fluid won't tighten a loose chain, if that's what it is.
