I don't know about louder but it definitely gets faster with the engine, no play in it.

Def answered my question though. I wish someone else would chime in fast. I've heard spraying wd40 on the pulleys and running it can answer your question about if the chirp is from the pump

Thanks for the input, I will put it back together in the morning and spray some PB on it while it's running and see if it goes away. It's 109* out right now, I prefer to do it when it's 95*. =Burning alive!

Are all shackles the same as far as build quality, or are some better than others? I don't know if brand matters here.

I was looking at my dash gauge cluster last night, and noticed that i have "Full-time" and "Part-time" 4x4 lights on the upper right, but I have the np231 command trac TC which is 2H-4H-N-4L, so I don't have FT and PT functions? Do I have the wrong dash?

Default help

i am building my first jeep and i just put in my 4.7 stroker and i am having a issues. it fires up fine but after it warms up while i am driving down the road it sputters, shakes and cuts off i can fire back up and drive but the longer i drive the worse it gets intell after i fire it back up it cuts off when i hit the gas. The check engine light comes up timing/miss fire/bad cps. so I changed the CPS and it still doing it. all i changed was the injectors to 24lb before install. any help would be great?

Just installed a 2" lift. No sue or tc drop. I was driving fine and no bid deal, then all the sudden I start hearing a popping sound. I'm about to crawl under and feel for play in my suspension. But what are you guys thinking? U-joints?

It would pop more and more depending on speed. When I'd brake it would fade out, accelerate it would speed up.

Ok. Cool. Is either light supposed to light up with my transfer case or should they stay off all the time?

What about when coasting? But yes check U joints. Changing the angles of the driveline will quickly reveal bad components. When you're down there make sure you give everything else a good wiggle
