Noisy rear end

[SALTYone]

Hey guys. I have a 2019 pioneer 1000-5. Over the summer I noticed periodic clunking in the rear end. Actually it sounds more like a binding and giving. It happens almost constantly now. It happens woth the rear end locked or in turf mode. The dealer said there us a clutch plate back there that is sticking and making noise. Nothing to worry about. They did document metal filings in the rear diff fluid after a fluid Chang. Is this bull s***?

🤨 Thats all im gonna say about that.

You need someone to put your rig in drive and go forward slow and YOU will walk with the machine in the back rear where the noise is coming from. You will be able to pinpoint the noise. My initial thought is a rear axle or a linkage adjustment. Use the search, there is multiple threads with a vidgea link on how to do that.

Dont forget to report back here for others once u fix it and what u did.

P1000 - Rear Differential Adjustment

I have seen a lot of posts about Pioneer's making a clanking/banging sound when shifting from 2WD to Turf Mode. I have made a video detailing how to fix this and what causes that. Please like and subscribe and I hope this helps some of you!

It's probably most likely that when you think you're in Turf mode, your rear diff is still locked because it's out of adjustment.

If that's the case, you should only notice it while turning, especially tight turns on hard surfaces. You'd feel wheel hop with the clunking.

Follow the vid they linked above.

Sorry for the late response. I did adjust the linkage to the diff lock. Thanks for the link WagginTail! That took care of it. Pretty frustrating that the "honda dealer" couldn't fix this. You guys are priceless!
