[QUOTE="04 yukon xl TN, post: 22608, member: 12381"] I did try draining and refilling transfer case first, then I done the same with front differential yesterday afternoon. I have only drove it in the yard and gravel driveway since changing front differential fluid. Unfortunately neither of the previous owners left any service records in it. I do know it has all new brake lines from front to rear, new brake master cylinder, new water pump, Battery, alternator, and a few other things a few months before I bought it. I only drove it local for the first few weeks I had it. Then drove it on the interstate for about 2 hour's, once I got back off interstate coming home. Something made a single pop/thud noise from what sounded like the very front. If you get it off in the grass and stomp the gas all 4 tires still spin. It'll drive a straight line just fine as well regardless of how fast you go. But turn the wheel more than 1/4 turn either way and it'll come to a stop. If you turn right, it'll stop sooner though. I did find out the passenger side caliper was partially seized and the brake pad on inside of rotor was completely gone, but it never did squeal, throw off heat, or pull to that side and still stopped like it had new brake pads. I have replaced that caliper and both pads since though. Once it does bind up and come to a stop if you're going forward, you can keep steering wheel turned the same way and reverse about the distance of 1 full rotation of the tires before it stops again. And vice versa. Tie rods have a little slack but not much. Wheel bearings, lower and upper ball joints are all tight. Cv axles are fine as well. [/QUOTE]
