I completed most of my 30k service yesterday. I replaced oil in the engine, front diff, rear diff and t-case. Diffs were nasty and only 2 small shavings in rear. T-case was pretty. Engine oil was a little nasty. I replaced with Mobile-1 synthetic. New engine oil filter, engine air filter and cabin filter. Also put new spark plugs in. I have not rotated my tires yet or greased zerks. I'll do that this week. Both the diffs and t-case got their allotted amount of oil and none had leaked out this morning so everything should be lubed up good.
After the service I went for a short ride and noticed a light chirping that I 'think' is coming from the rear. It occurs when I am moving and does not occur when I am stopped. I can only hear it up to about 25 mph and then the wind drowns it out. I can not hear it with the windows up. It always happens but does not happen on an 'even pattern' if you follow. I'm guessing it is a wheel bearing or my springs.
I do not recall hearing this chirping before the service but who knows if it was there or not. I haven't driven w/ my windows down for several weeks at least because of the heat.
Any ideas? My preferred dealer is an hour away so I would prefer not to have to drive that far for a little chirp.
(My FJC has an OME lift and a fair amount of gear loaded. I haven't done any mods to the axles, wheels, bearings, etc.)
