The pinion gear broke??? Geez, I've not heard of that happening in stock vehicles before. I'd be interested in hearing where it broke...gear teeth, bearing surface, or what. If you can, get a picture of the thing when they get it out.

PS - I'd keep my mouth shut about any "performance enhancements" for fear that the dealer would claim the increase in torque is what broke the gear.

Wife started thru an intersection and heard a loud crack and lost power to rear wheels. Oil all over front of rear diff. rear end seems to be pointed down slightly. Rear u joint angle seems very sharp. I have not been under the liberty as much as I should but something seems wrong. U joint did not break but there is a break in the drivetrain as park does not work. Any ideas? It is at the dealer in Poway ca. I will report back.

It seems to me that I saw a recent comment in the "General" section on a component failure in the rear suspension that might be related. This is not CRD specific so I would post it there too. If it sounds like you have the rear axle out of position that might be related.

It split right down the middle they feel as I do that it was just a factory defect, sometimes that happens. An internal flaw that just fails, lucky it was under warrantee. I know the mechanic and he did not open the hood and he did not notice the cel (I welded the roll cage in his race car) I just wish he had been to diesel school.
