1999 chevy 4wd

The transfer case when in gear it has a grinding sound like a chain

  • bargames Jan 28, 2009

    i have a very similar if not the same problem. when in 4hi and above 20 i get a growl/grinding noise. i am certin it is coming from the front end but other then that im not sure what it is. does the front transfer case gets its fluid from the tranny or is that somthing i need to check. it almost seems like the 4wd is not fully enguaged or is stuck in 4lo. there is 0 problem when in 2wd and 4 lo seems to operate normaly.

1996 Suburban K1500, gear grinding noise on acceleration, 2 wheel high only

Hi Alex W, chevy k1500 A/T box? 4L80? sure 4wd,
get it checked out in a real shop?
we can not do the checks here, nor hear it
we would use and electronics, stethoscope to find
it zero risk to human body.
not told you, will it grind, parked , and makes noise
in all PRNDL selections, 2H mode.
or shift to 4wd neutral does it make noise"
my guess is only moving it makes noise!?
if yes tests can be dangerous to the tech and others.
is transfer case NP208 transfer case?
see this N here/
we can shift to N to see of noise ends.
a loose chain in the box below can make noise for sure using 4wd on dry pavement.

NI is for towing mode, see in the users guide. yours.

My 2000 Chevy silverado 1500 z71 wont move. used 4wd then tried to put back into 2wd it would shift into any gear. Put back in park it makes a grinding noise

Sounds like your transfer case in neutral. You have to engage the transfer case back into gear then shift selector to drive or reverse. When your transfer is in neutral the transmission will not operate. Good luck.

4WD Problem

Shut off the vehicle. Place the transfer case indicator into whatever gear you want and then start the vehicle. You placed the transfer case into neutral while the engine was running in gear that's why all the grinding.

I have a 1999 chevy silverado Z71 1500 5.3. It makes loud grinding and poping noises when I put it in gear how do I know if its the transmission or the transfer case?

the transfer case only engages when in 4wd. check the universal joint, it connects from the drive shaft to the rear differential. it may need grease or to be replaced.

I have a 4x4 1999 gmc suburban 1500 with a 5.7 motor and an automatic transmission. when my suburban is in 2 hi, i can sometimes put it into reverse and it will not move but make a grinding noise. then i...

unfortunately what it sounds like is the transfer case like you suspect. inside are bearings and gears and a chain what happens is the chain will stretch and cause this problem it will actually jump the teeth on the gears, you will need to have the chain replaced in the transfer case. sorry to have to tell you this but i hope it helps.

1999 Suburban 4WD, Noise from the transfer case?

Your problem is similiar to mine . the web-site has been helpful. $2000.00 sounds way to much for repair on that vehicle with such high mileage. I went to a dismantler and bought a used transfer case for under $350.00. Did the labor myself with a little help. It's not too difficult if you have a some diy experience or ability. As your working on it stay with the web-site for install hints or go to autozone.com for repair diagrams.
Good luck have a good day.
