Hello,

Just got my JT and was pumped. It's a 2021 Sport Max Tow with now 700 miles. Recently started howling a little while engine braking between 46-44mph. Also in 4hi it howls while engine braking. Is this normal? Thanks

Straight distance gravel. Just tried it for the first time today. It only howls when engine braking.

Probably normal gear noise, I don’t recall the noise when using my JT in snow but other 4wd vehicles with manual transfer cases I have had in the past had some gear noise when in 4wd at speed and coasting down.

Ok thanks. Its my first Jeep so wasn't sure, my previous 4wd vehicle did not make the howl. Didn't want to mess something up in what is my dream truck.
