Default Quick question

Being as this is my first Land Rover, cut me a little slack on this one. I have owned several 4WD vehicles in the past, but never one that was full time 4WD. Is it normal to hear your front propshaft turning? I have an '03, and the PO at some point replaced the u-joints with greaseables, which I greased this past Sunday when I changed the oil. The undercarriage seems exceptionally clean, and there's no noticeable vibration, it just seems that I can hear it turning when I'm driving at low speeds.

See if you can find out if the rebuild included a new centering ball kit also.

Are you sure its the driveshaft that you hear? And not the gears in the t-case?

I'm not exactly sure what I'm hearing now. I only seem to notice it when I'm coasting. If it's under load, I can't hear it even if I try. It definitely sounds like something turning, but now I'm thinking maybe it's not the propshaft.

It is just your t-case I am sure. Check the fluid level in it.
