R16 code on it

For a 2002 d4d if it makes a difference.

took front prop off and the front diff was stiff to turn I think it was reassembled too tight and the teeth aren’t meshing together correctly. Are all Colorado/parado front diffs the same?

It does it under barely any load. The noise before was only under very heavy load. Being under it it sound like it’s coming from transfer box but it’s basically a new unit

I’m wondering if it’s a bush that’s moving under extreme load. The seal turned up for the diff so I’ll get it back together.

Yeah I’ve seen that a few times.

It’s only does it under power and I’ve balanced them all recently

Sorry on holiday! In my trusty Vw transporter lol.

Doesnt do it with front prop disconnected. wheel bearings are good.

Only does it under load.

Yeah I’m wondering about a mount it does sound rotational but that maybe a red herring. I’m waiting on diff seals to reassemble.

Looking more at this I think that’s old damage as the bearing is in very good shape.

Turning the pinion it had a tight spot so took it out of the case looks like the bearing has bound up on the pinion and spun. Could this cause it?

Yes truck still moves with centre diff open. Noise gone with front prop removed. All splines are perfect I’ve checked every single one. It only happens when truck is moving well it bangs as soon as you put strain on the drivetrain and move away. We can eliminate the gear box and anything on the...

It sounds exactly like a massive chain slipping. I guess next step is reassemble and try the rear disconnected.

Well front diff looks perfect inside.

Tried that. It shakes the whole truck though. I’m sure it’s front diff.

It doesn’t do anything at all even towing now. I’m going to strip the front diff Later.

Anyone got a front diff.

That’s the next step

was that a rotational sound so loud other cars can hear it on the motorway?

Removed both front shafts all perfect. Looked in diff no swarf or visible damage. It’s a rotational noise.

So pulled away from some traffic lights towing a trailer heard a bang. Then truck proceeds to clunk and a load more of a bang bang bang bang very loud inspected transfer case and chain was very very loose. Got a replacement transfer case from Bob. Problem still remains front diff looks good...

Sorted contact made!

No option to

How do I send a message? @BobMurphy i can’t find the option to do it anywhere.

Hi guys I’ve had a Colorado for a while best truck I’ve had. Found the forum trying to fix the transfer box.

Oh wow bob that sounds great! I don’t seem to be able to inbox you maybe because I’m a new member.

What would you do your rebuilt one for with mine in exchange.

Manual. I was hoping for a complete secondhand. Failing that my truck is low miles so a new chain maybe. I saw your expensive one for sale almost as much as the trucks worth.

As title after a good transfer box for my 2002 95.

So my d4d has stretched its chain I took the drain plug out and can pull the chain right off the teeth. Does anyone have a secondhand unit I could buy?
