i have a popping noise from the front of my jeep...the best i can tell some where in from the tcase forward
i havent found it yet..it does this every time my left front tire gets really good traction..its not the u joint..
or the front d shaft..other than that i am still scratching my head..please help before i lose all my hair..
oh yeah not to mention the smoke coming out of my ears...thanks

missing byumpstop? is it a V8 auto after 1980? these trucks like to ram the front driveshaft into the driverside exhaust if you get twisty..

the axle pulling is causing something hit, assuming the Ujoints and all that stuff in teh drivetrain is good..

shock mount maybe loose?

hang underthere while you rbest freind drives around the yard, just make sure he isnt mad at you, or had too many beers...JOKE

NW Arkansas, need a CJ rear seat

thanks ozark jeep,i'll have to try that..but this noise is pretty loud...it sounds like the drive flange is sliping
inside the hud..oh it is a 77 cherokee chief,360,quad-trac...but when i put my new limited slip in the front
i payed close attention to all that when it was out,it looked fine...the axles have new joints...thanks again i'll
go try your ideas

Could it be the Q-trac chain slipping? Check it by stomping the brakes, adding gas in gear. Loud pops call for immediate replacement of the chain. Breakage while the truck is rolling will grenade the case! Use only a Borg Warner replacement part, the cheap chinese ones only last a few thousand miles.
Anaheim Gear, in Anahiem CA. has the good ones for around $150. The cheap ones are around $60. A good local trans parts house should be able to get one too.
Hope this helps, good luck!

P.S.,, They are easy to change in the truck by splitting the case. Get a good manual if you haven't done one.
