I'd be checking the front diff, axles and CVs before looking at the transfer case. Jack one front wheel and spin it, see if the prop shaft moves.

Most likely in the front diff or halfshafts. Unlock the centre diff and put it in gear and have a look at the front driveshaft. If it's turning it won't be in the centre diff or output shafts and you can concentrate on the front diff. You have to split it at both swivel housings to get the axles out of the diff centre so you can remove it to check if it's the diff centre or axle halfshaft. Also could be a CV but they are pretty strong in this model and the axle or diff centre usually let go before a CV. Have fun!!Quote:

Gday,
Neither front wheels spin the front drive shaft.
Turning the front drive shaft by hand turns the rear drive shaft.
So gear box ok.
Probably axles & cv's ok ?
Just leaves a diff problem i guess ?
Paul.
Gday,
Also noticed while car is up in the air,
my 255/85R16 spare is acting as a 3rd rear bump stop.
Paul.
Thats on the diff centre.
Paul.
Are you jacking up one wheel at a time or is that with both wheels in the air? If both wheels are in the air, make sure the one you aren't spinning is held still.Quote:

Maybe the front diff, but wouldn't it be alright with the Salisbury? Not that I do it, of course.Quote:

Returned a remarkable 8.7l per 100km! I used to get 10.1 on a mix of 80% town 20% highway, new tires dropped that to 9.9 per 100.
This is the first purely highway run that I have measured. I have to say I am very happy with the fuel economy of the beast! :D

edit. Dam is full! amazing difference to the last time I was there in the middle of the drought!
