FAQ:

I hear a grinding noise at low speed after reassembling my transfer case. What could that be?

A low speed grinding noise is most commonly caused by the rear output bearing snap ring not being fully seated causing the bearing to move out of proper alignment. Verify that the snap ring is fully engaged and properly seated in the rear housing and the locating groove in the bearing.

What would cause a speed sensor correlation code after installing the pump upgrade?
