03 Wrangler drive train noise

Well I just returned from the dealer. One of the techs took a ride with me
and he isolated the whining noise to the rear axle. Apparently I have
excessive backlash so I get a rebuild on my Dana 44. Lucky it's under
warranty!

On another note, I have to give that dealership kudos. Everyone was friendly
and very professional. When the tech got in my Jeep he even knocked the snow
off his shoes before getting in. I expect I'll be well taken care of there
since they seem to pay attention to the little things. The dealer is Owl
Chrysler Jeep in Honesdale, Pa.

A very rare thing you have there - don't ever move.

Let me guess, you put your stock tires back on for the visit to
your Stealership?

Ha! Lucky for me the factory tires were on it. 'Course it came with 30"
tires.
