Sqeaking problem trans or driveshaft

[richterjustin08]

Mike I've done nothing t the u jonts, joey wetjer the trans is in 1,2,3 she still gradually squeks at 1500 rpms and then works it Way out , but like I said when foot is off of accelerater then does not squeks.

Have you checked the fluid level in the transfer case?

 

[richterjustin08]

No I haven't but thus guess what? My belt tensioner just popped and pulley no good... Hopefully it is just that was squeking

 

[richterjustin08]

Well guys just had the belt tensioner break , hopefully that's where the squeking was coming from

That was a fairly inexpensive problem/cure for a Disco.

 

[richterjustin08]

Well we shall see mike, the part comes in today and ill put it on and see if that what it was... And let yall know ,

 

[Disco Mike]

If you still have not dealt with your u-joints, you should do that ASAP before one fails.

 

[driesc]

I agree with Disco Mike. I had the same problem and after replacing all the pulleys and adjuster in vain, finally checked the u-joints and these were the culprits.

That depens on a lot of things such as wear and climate but, having said that, and with a hi-milage driveline that has developed 'clunks' worthy of its age - I have found Red Lines hi-shock synth gear oil to be pretty good (don't have the weight in front of me but it was up there)
