    Maybe someone out there can help me solve this mystery I'm having with a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited four-wheel drive with a 318.
    When I drive it at 65 -75 miles mph for at least 10 - 15 miles it starts making a roaring noise it starts off subtle and the longer you drive it the worse it gets. It gets so bad that the front end starts dipping simultaneously with the noise if I come to a stop the noise and surging stops also for a while as I pick up speed the noise comes back along with the surging. I've changed the rear wheel bearings the front hubs complete steering front end check both differentials they seem to be okay change the oil in both of those and took it to a transmission shop they advise me the transmission they advised me that the transmission and transfer case were fine I've also changed all the U-joints I have no idea where to look next if anyone could give me some ideas it would be greatly appreciated thanks

    Welcome! That's a new one to me, but hopefully someone else might have insight.

    Welcome! I would have expected the transmission shop to have replicated the "roaring noise" and made the necessary repairs in addition to everything else you or they changed.

    Sounds like something is binding in the front. I'm not familiar with the 95 GC. Do you have all time 4WD or are you able to select. Are all your tire the same size and have the same where. Well worn tire in the front and new in the rear (and visa versa) will cause a bind in the T-case giving you something like what you are describing. You do have a solid front axle right? Could be differential bearings or pinion bearings but I doubt it. they usually make a high pitch squeal.

    A question. Could what you are feeling be engine breaking? Maybe a fan clutch gone bad? Could it be the fan roaring. If you have electric fans this won't be your problem but maybe something else putting a bind or load on the motor, Like an ac compressor going bad. I'm just guessing and trying to through some ideas out there for you to think over.
