Cool! When I saw the title I was wondering if you'd go first gen for that transfer case and low range. I didn't realize how they were equipped until I saw one on the trail back around 2009. We also did a trail with it's mechanical (or near) twin, the Toureg. It was amusing to watch as the driver...

Thanks Neo! Hope all is well for you up in the PNW.

Woohoo, another soon to by happy Thor Parts customer!

Go Mountain Hawks! Keep any eye on part outs especially if you can get good quality used OEM parts from power steering pumps to torsion bars. I'd think about running that new Valvoline Restore and Protect for several oil changes to clean out the rings. Had that been out, or had I known about it...

Ooh, lots of green corrosion in there.

Welcome, nice looking SUT. Like the mods and maintenance that you've done.

That'll be a great upgrade.

That'll do it! Good detective work.

I've seen similar issues with CVs binding on sharp turns though it would seem like that would have gotten worse over time. I've had this on CVs pulled from my H3 as well as Bigunit's. Any CV can bind when extended too far, which isn't necessarily the issue here, but could be worn out or poorly...

Just inspect the boots periodically. A small split in the fold, caught before too much grease flings out, can often be repaired with RTV.

Throttle position sensor is a part known to fail, and both your codes suggest that as a possibility.

Transfer case sounds possible given the conditions you've described but then again could be diff, like pinion gear. I've had popping also come from the front diff but that happened in all drive modes with a loose tooth flopping around that appeared more on acceleration as the piece shifted. If...

Well, don't let your Suburban get "stolen" and then we find six months later about your new baby Dmax swap into the H3!

Nice! 470K is a huge accomplishment. Any major engine repairs?
