2014JourneySXTAWD

I did, not a whole lot of info out there on them. I did try disconnecting the sensor on it and no change other than service AWD light. Oil looked OK in it and doesn't look like it would be very hard to replace. $460 shipped for a new OEM unit but I dont want to burn someone else's money if thats not it or the diff is trashed.

With the drive shaft hooked back up and a rear wheel in the air it cannot be turned when the vehicle is in neutral so I believe the VC has failed.

Hello, I'm working (for free) on a neighbor's 2014 AWD v6 DJ after a local mechanic didn't think it was worth fixing. It had two issues and I already replaced the oil filter cooler/housing which wasn't too bad of a job. The other issue is that there is a loud snapping noise when making sharp turns at lower speed. You can actually see that the inside wheel when turning does not want to slip. It acts like a locked diff. I've disconnected the rear drive shaft from the transfer case and the car does not make the noise when turning. Initially I suspected the transfer was not letting it slip when the inside wheels were going slower but after some reading it might be the viscous coupling. Anyone have any idea? Looks like there are issues with both the coupling and transfer case with other DJ owners on here. Many thanks.
