guys i just bought a 2004 blue rubicon right out of the showroom i had to get it. I used to have a 1997 and this thing is 100 times better but i have a question about a vibration noise that bothers me. When im driving in 1st and driving in 2nd it makes a vibration sound and when i shut the jeep off it makes a real load vibration noise. This thing has 200 miles on it and im PISSED and am bringing it back to the dealer tomorrow. You guys have any idea why its making this sound...?

Congrats Blue,
I have an 03 Rubicon and love it. I also had a 00 Sahara, 89 YJ
and a CJ7 that I had so long ago, I don't remember the year. I
didn't have it long, bought it new and was stolen a few months
later. Also a few Cherokees including the XJ my wife has now.
The Rubi is a great rig but as with all new cars, they can have
some issues. Jeeps definitely have their share. I don't think I
understand you with the descriptions your giving. Vibration sound
when you shut off the engine?? Do you mean post ignition or
a bang? The vib noise while in first and second, could this be the
sound of the T-Case? They are a bit noisy compared to other
Jeeps and I would describe it as a "gear" sound rather than a
vibration sound.
Try to be more descriptive as there are some very experienced
Jeepers here and I'm sure we can help. Let us know what the
dealer tells you and good luck. It is an awesome rig that I know
you will enjoy!
Roger.

i seriously don't think you screwed anything up.
let the dealer work it out!
it's under warranty? (is that the thing where you don't have to fix it yourself?)

If its under warranty, dont even attempt it yourself. Its a waste of time and money, and if you do mess something up, they might try and squeak themselves out of fixing it. Plus snowbanks rarely scratchup the skids in a way they would know you were out playing with it. Oh and if your talking about the dealer in natick on rt 9 right by rt 27 i've been there, people seemed friendly and nice. Though I could never afford to take my cars to any shop |

yup their the best...great service. That would be Brigham-Gill Jeep. Expensive, to say the least. I think their shop rate is up around $90/hr now. |

if it has the same tranny as the 03, which I believe it does, it is normal. It sounds like marbles rattling aroiund in the tranny right? It is cuz the front half of the tranny is still moving when you shut it off, but if you put the clutch in, the front half of the tranny is not moving, so no noise. This tranny does that, it just isn't quiet. they used the same tranny in the dakotas, but did not notice the noise, since the dakotas body wraps around it alot more, and muffles the noise. when they put it in the TJs, they did not see anything wrong other than the noise. since it operates normally, they will not do anything about it. been there, done that... as well as many new TJ owners

YES..DEFINETY SOUNDS LIKE MARBLES IN THE TRANNY yep, you should hear it while in nuetral w/ the clutch out. i'm surprised if you can hear from inside. i usually dont hear until i roll down the window. have it checked anyway, tho. dealer might have missed somethin on delivery from the factory. i saw a brand new Chrysler 300c that drove off the lot with ONE tinted window! whats worse...the owner didnt notice it for a month! |
