Surely this cant be normal albeit it beuing common. If so its ridiculous.
When searching for a 4x4 i hads bunch of options including a 200 cruiser and general consensus is to stay clear of the 3 Ls . But ending up with a 4.2 which wasnt cheap and for it to do this is very annoying.
Had anybidy successfully fixed it ?
Hmmmm.......I can't say mine is rattle kinda noise. It's definitely more of a grunting/grinding kinda noise.
It may worth taking it to a tranny specialist and get him to hear it. It's better to be safe than sorry at the end of the day.
4.2 stock diesels are good units from what I've heard here so far. Yours must be turbo if it's 2005, I guess?
