Hello, i have a 1996 GC orvis edition, a few days ago i decided to have a little fun in the mud got stuck but wasnt a big deal. Now I have a noise coming from my front end when accelerating quicky like a grinding from the axle somewhere, I was wondering if this would be a U-joint? It's almost as if the front is sticking any help would be appreciated thanks!

Could be. If you did any driving before the fun, you had hot parts. Hot parts when they hit the cooler mud cool quickly. This can cause a vacuum which sucks the mud into the part. Mud has a lot of grit in it and that is likely the cause of the noise, but where is a good question.

I would also crawl under and take a real good look around - there may be a branch or something else rubbing against something.

Also, if you towed it out of the mud, check whatever you attached the chain / rope to, you may have bent something

same thing happened to me, front drive shaft is pretty delicate and can't take muddin too well, especially if its a CV shaft...got a new one and problem was solved. I'd first take it off and go for a short spin and see if the problem di:) sappears....

yes i have removed the front drive shaft problem still happens.Im really leaning towards the transfer case now I think that some gears have been stripped as it grinds like crazy when i try to put it in 4low and it also slips out of 4 low easily so transfer case seems the only logical explanation as i have checked the front and rear diff gears as well
