I have a RRS HSE 2007. within a week of installing my rock sliders from off roving.com i started hearing a grinding noise just after taking my foot off the gas pedal. the noise can be heard between 5-35mph but is loudest when my foot is taken off the gas pedal and the truck begins to slow down on its own.
i'm not sure if it had something to do with the rock slider install or if it was just coincidental. i will say that the truck was sluggish and felt heavy when driving and braking as if it was carrying more weight than it was used to or could handle. that feeling went away after the first week but then the grinding noise began. the noise sounds as if i installed aggressive tread pattern tires.
so i took the truck to the dealership and they said the noise was coming from the rear diff. well they replaced it but the noise was still there on their test drive so they then decided that the front diff was making the noise. i have no clue how they heard the noise in the back and all of a sudden it was actually coming from the front. anyway, they replaced the front diff on friday and monday i'm supposed to find out if the noise went away. the dealership also claims that somehow the diff fluids got contaminated and the rear diff gears were a little grinded up. i havent seen it yet so i cannot say if they're telling the truth or if they're trying to justify the fact that they chose to replace both diffs to land rover north america (it's all under warranty; thank god).
i have a feeling it's the transfer case but we'll see what happens on monday. has anyone had this problem or heard of it before? :doh:
