I have a 2000 jeep grand cherokee with 4.7L v8 and i think the transfer case is going bad. It used to just happen when it was cold but over last year it does it all the time now. When i go to turn left or right i hear a rubbing like sound and it almost feels like something is binding up. It almost feels like it is hopping when i turn it. I think it may be the transfer case but i wanted to get some input from you guys. Any information is appreciated. Thanks

yeh, sounds more as low oil level or not using of the limited slip additive in the vari-lok or trac-lok differentials.

When you have the NV 247 T-case, there is a progresive coupling in it. It senses the speed difference between the front and rear axles and can transfer the force from the rear axle partly to the front.

Mine is doing the same thing , have changed all the fluids, saw the most difference after changing fluid in transfer case, my Jeep is a 01 Grand Cherokee LTD. V8. Am considering changing the transfer case , have driven it about 250 miles since I changed , its better but not completely cured.

Most probably the progressive coupling inside the T-case which got stuck. Eventhough with the 247 T-case the jeep is called full time 4x4, its in fact not, but it will transfer torque to the front wheels in case of a difference in speed between front and rear propeller shafts.
