In 4x4 it sounds like a damn diesel. My rear end is clanking. Sounds like shit is falling off. It embarrasses me sometimes!

Ive had mine in 4 a few times now and cannot tell a difference between 2 and 4......sounds like its time for a different dealer, have them test it out with another jeep on the lot to prove the difference.

Yes it doesn't do it all the time it only does it at like a constant rpm. Ranges from 2k-3500rpm then it goes away. It's hard to describe. But the dealer tried to say its my "huge mud tires" making the noise. It happens a lot in sand. It pisses me off.

They say the to to mimic the sound but all they hear is my tires making noise. They are full of shit. Btw I'm at 26,000 miles now. It started since day one. The only thing they told me is drive it till it breaks and well fix it

do you have the factory tires to put back on to prove it to them? or have a JK buddy you could swap out with for a day or two until they can fix it?

This happened before the lift and tires. It happened with stock tires. If they turn me down I'll be super pissed
