L4240 headed to the dealer.

Dropped it off yesterday. I've got a grinding/rubbing sound resonating from the 2wd/4wd selector. There was always a sound in the cab but it's growing in decibel levels. Now to wait and see what they find. I wanted to post this incase anyone else runs across this issue. She has 225hrs on her now.

Got a call, they told me there were some O-rings in there that were missing. I'll ask for more info when I go to pick it up. We'll see i guess.

And if they weren't in there then will it be under warranty?

Picked it up this morning, nice and quiet in the cab now!!

They tell me the O'rings that were missing went inside the front drive shaft housing. No signs that they were ever there but that they only dampen the vibration....

They also changed out the 2wd/4wd selector to a new redesigned one. So if any other grand L cab owners read this and think their selector is making some racket (I have 225hours on her). The dealership should change it to the updated version at no charge. This was at the suggestion of "Kubota" so I'm guessing it's a well documented issue...
