VSS ? Mine is leaking and I can get a 97 T case from a friend of mine for 100 in good shape if it would work in my 99. Could you change the tail shaff on the 97 and install the 99 tail shaff ? I also know he don't have the shifter on would the one in my truck work
the other thing I should have put in there is when it is making the noise if I shift out of overdrive and the RMPs go up the noise definetly doesn't go away but it quiets down a whole lot.
The difference is like HeyYou stated. The VSS and shift pattern.. Not 100% sure on swapping the tail shafts. I went through like 5 tcases with the same noice you describe. Eventually they just split in half and spilled their guts out on the highway. If you replace the transfer case and still encounter issues your next step is the transmission.. Thats what mine ended up being. Guy that bought the truck had the same issue with his and there was an internal issue in the trans. Cant remember exactly what he said it was though..
well I do know when I changed the trans filter the last time there were 3 pieces in the oil pan of what looked to be a ring they were about an 1/8th inch thick and I was told they were from a band inside the transmission could that be it cause I don't even know exactly what the pieces came from
