That's not what you whispered in my ear the last time it was dark out

Somehow I knew you were gonna take that way.

Thanks man, I like them too
So how on this green earth am I to drive my Jeep while riding my bike out to your place?
OHHHHHHHH wait solution! Super cool dude with a trailer donation for the tax write off to the needy!

Ah Buggin' I do have a 4 X 8 sitting down home that was a enclosed but I tore the roof off of, wouldn't be too hard to make it a flat bed. Been sitting for 10 years or so
It's nice and low to load onto as well unlike mine
I can take mine down next time and haul it back up here for you!
Price is rather cheap, well sort of

Just got a call from the transmission place saying that I might need a new case in the rear (mentioned that it was a Chrysler recommendation...whatever that means). They hadn't actually looked inside but had listened to it on the road and while up on a lift. I asked them to look inside and see if they could identify any issues that may have come from the diff fluid change and pinion seal replacement that another mechanic had done last week.

THIS SUCKS. I'm not even sure what this could cost but I'm guessing up to two grand. I can think of several other things I'd rather do with two grand right now!

I did some quick googling of a Chrysler rear end and found prices of anywhere from $1000 to $1700. The problem is, I don't know about the specifics involved in pricing one. Is it just a case that I might need, everything including axles? This is way beyond me.

Any and all advice, info, sympathy and/or donations would be appreciated.

You do know I gave away a 8.25 rear diff when I moved since I didn't have anyone to help me load it! Needed the guts but was all there except for gears
Hard to say what you need without knowing what is wrong. Could be able to fix but
make sure if looking at used to get the right gears since you have a manual tranny

I still haven't heard back from the shop since I told them to open it up and see what's wrong. I'm going to go home and sulk now.

I can't tell if that's a Jerry can mount or a place to put a toilet seat.

Good to see RL is back in production.

Well for me and using it as a toilet seat I'd have to have a step stool to reach it. You on the other hand, well it may work

But yep Jerry can holder and also for a hi-lift

So ya got your diff fluid changed along with a pinion seal then you all of a sudden have a rear end noise? Did he replace the crush sleeve,did he give it the correct rotation torque, did his possible incorrect installation cause this noise/damage?
Changing out a complete rear end would be gravy if ya can find a complete replacement, something I would glady drive on down and give ya hand with. I do not have the tools any longer to do a propper gear replacement but I have done several gear jobs the old redneck way and as far as I know their still running strong.

I know I know, ya have been teasing me with this option for years
That is going to look killer awesome on your bumper!
Your new pet is right about the size I would as a kid jab onto a stick and cook over a camp fire untill ya hear a pop then ya know their done for good eatin

I've got a flat bed all steel tilt trailer I would sell 4x7 maybe 4x8. It does needs new axle, tires/wheel, hitch, and lights. I met a widow, was helping clean up her place and bought it off of her, I have no need for it though.

See the key word is donate, I'll give ya receipt for your taxes
Needs new axle, tires/wheel, hitch and lights................uhhhhmmmm what ya have is a frame and would like to get rid of some other junk that comes with it, not a trailer

Just got the call from the shop....$600. Which is less than what a new rear end would cost but still a good chunk of change. They found a bearing on the inner pinion bearing that was oddly worn...he's pulled it for me to look at. Parts are ordered and Jeep should be back in my hands tomorrow.

I think I'm going to have to learn some serious mechanical skills so I can start taking care of this stuff myself. If I can dissect critters and name nearly all the parts i should be able to figure out the mechanics of a four wheel drive...right?

Yes time you learn for sure
600 isn't bad but didn't they just work on it?

I think you need to take my spot in the Jeep factory for a few weeks. You'll learn the (proper) names for everything, how they mount, and how to install and fix them. Also, the proper ways for installation and removal. Learn a job a day, look at some others, you'll know how to build a Jeep from top to bottom in short order.

PS: There is no such thing as a dashboard. It's called an Instrument Panel.
Those are not struts up front. They are definitely, 100% SHOCKS. The whole assembly is called a shock module.
The fiberglass sandwich that goes over the transmission that most of us call a heat shield is called a Tunnel Pad.
Spring Isolators? Nope. Insulators.
Air Bag sensors do not exist. They're called crash sensors.

I could go on and on and on and on and on...

Next time you come to a meet and greet, grab a tool.

Tomm ... it was a different shop that replaced the pinion seal. This is a transmission specialist shop that found the problem. They don't see any connection between the seal replacement and the wear on the bad bearing.

Marlon...I'd love to work in the factory, but then I'd get spoiled for all those nice tools and assembly lines. I'd have to spend a fortune on tools to make up for it. The reason I don't always pick up a tool at a work day is fear of screwing up someone elsewhere rig. I'm the good at alot of things...mechanics just isn't one of them.

No excuses. Hart screwed mine up. I'm not mad at him.
