Hello all.
My mechanical abilities are limited to say the least, so please be patient.
My 2002 slt 4x4 is based in Belize and '******'s' in Belize usually get "jacked' when taking in a vehicle to a mechanic, so I would like to eliminate a few things that could be the issue that I could do myself before taking it into a mechanic.
OK, Symtoms!
When in 2 wheel drive there is a loud rattling noise that sounds as if it's coming from under the drivers seat under the vehicle.
When I engage 4 wheel drive the noise disappears.
Others have told me it could be the 'Transfer Box?'.
Could I do regular maintenance checks on things like fluid levels in transmission or differential or transfer box ( if it does have fluid)
Thanks in advance for any help and advise
