not sure bud, but tell him to take a piece of heater hose, put one end on the oil pan, ear to other, adn move the hose to different areas, he can localize it that way, usually noise in that area may be a rod bearing, but at least he can get an idea of where the noise is originating, and that will be a start

he tried that (but tell him to take a piece of heater hose, put one end on the oil pan, ear to other, adn move the hose to different areas, he can localize it that way) and said possible coming from the transfer /crank case??? im not to smart when it comes to these things. he really fustrated so i thought maybe u all could help out.

rod bearing?? its a start i'll let him know. thanks brotha

it could be the chain in the transfer , hard to tell really , I would have him drop it by a tranny shop and see what they said
