So when im driving 25 or faster there is a metallic scraping noise coming from what sounds like right underneath the drivers seat. It goes away as im slowing down to stop and doesnt do it when idleing. I took a video to record the sound but dont know how to upload it on here.

 

rotary like something that rotates, get on/off gas , does it change,hit brakes, ease on brakes, slightly move, pull park brake.
you gotta try stuff to see changes if any,

 

It does it coasting or accelerating. If i hit the brakes it keeps making the noise until about 10 mph. This is the noise

 

I know its impossible to really tell without actually looking at it. But the noise just so happened to appear when i get off work and the shop i work at is closed until monday.

 

Have you tried lifting it and spinning your tires?

 

No the only jack i have at home is too small since its lifted 4 inches. Ill just have to wait until i get back to my shop monday.

 

I call transfer case shift fork.

Have you checked the case fluid?

 

Nope. Dont laugh, but how do you check that?

 

On the back side of the TC there are 2 hex plugs ( 10mm iirc) one high and one low. Remove the higher plug and the fluid should be level with the bottom of the hole. Make sure you are on a level surface.

 

Okay. If its low would it make that noise? Im sure it atleaat needs to be replacced. Its been in my family for atleast 15 years and have no idea when it was last changed. I just took it over from my brother

 

Yup, the shift forks have plastic friction pads on them. If the fluid gets too low the plastic will melt off allowing the aluminum fork to rattle. Also a stretched chain will drag the bottom of the case and cause a similar noise. If it's really low the damage is done and you'll either have to overhaul the case or replace it.

 

Damn lets hope thats not the case haha

 

I have a question...... I took off my drive shaft for my4x4. Can I cut the chain in my transferring case cause it's making a horrible metal scrapping noise. It's driving me crazy please someone HELP

 

Ummmm, what?

 

I checked the fluid and it was a half quart low. I just ordered a new chain and sprockets for the case. Should i get a shift fork too?
