Sounds like the fan rubbing on something.I know you said it goes away but if it is coming from the engine compartment I would look at the pulleys.I know my work van makes some bad squealing when I start it in the cold.I was told it is the fan belt,but they never seem to replace it..lol

Sound like belt to me. Check the idler pulley they dont last long due to all the tension these belts require.

This is coming from right under my feet, during the warmer weather it doesnt do it.

what side is your exhaust on sounds like the rattle my wife has in her liberty it was the shield above the catalytic vibrating

 

[Jester32]

Hmmm check all your mounts make sure they are torqued and in good shape could be u joint on frt shaft siezing up or the cardon joint itself.

Its on the passenger side, and the cat, plus the shield are both gone,I thought it was either the front drive shaft ujoint, or something in the transmission, I just thought it was weird cause it only does it when its cold.

I thought it could be that, but it sounds like its coming from somewhere in front of the transfer case.

Do you have a manual or auto. I know the manuals make noise when cold depending on the fluid. My last cherokee you couldnt even shift when cold lol. Some have a different fluid for cold climates.

Its a manual, yeah 2nd gear is always a little difficult to get in, in the mornings

Msybe time for a synthetic fluid change.

Your probably right. Its got over 158000 miles on it. Probably time to.

 

[Jester32]

Ya i would synthetic works great costs a little more but you will never have to change it again.

Is that driving or idling? The only time I ever heard anything like that from under a Jeep (not engine noise) was when a friends Jeep had the e-brake adjuster dangling onto the rear driveshaft. It would come and go and was driving him nuts. I put a little tension on the e-brake handle and the noise went away. We looked under the Jeep and sure enough, there was a shiny place around the driveshaft:lol: .

Its driving. My granddad thinks it could be the throw out bearing. Its coming from the transmisson, I'm sure of that

 

[jackflack44]

Why throwout bearing failed as well, but only made noise with the clutch depressed.

 

[Sid1966]

Why not just pull the front driveshaft and take it for a drive to see if noise goes away ?If noise goes away prob a u joint or double cardan joint bad

 

[Crazy4diesels]

Its driving. My granddad thinks it could be the throw out bearing. Its coming from the transmisson, I'm sure of that

If it is the throwout bearing the noise should at least change when you push the clutch and the noise should be there while not moving. If the noise is there only when the Jeep is moving it's got to be something in the drivetrain, I would think
