Its possible, some nare-the-well mechanics blame the gears when rationalizing premature failures to unsuspecting customers. So, its vital that you only use a shop and mechanic that a) has done many, and can point you to happy customers with 30k+ miles of proof, 2) offer a warranty past 12 months or 12k miles, and iii) know Jeep products, not just Fords and Chevys.
So have you re-geared?? I have already stated that finding the right person is key... not "defective" gears.

Not on my current JK, but yes on previous CJs, and my Explorer. I wasn't disputing, just reinforcing. Actually, I didn't read the whole thread thoroughly

Anyone have gears installed without problems for many thousands of miles??
I had 4.56's installed in my Ram 2500 4x4. I ran Amsoil Severe Gear fluid. Never a peep from them is 70,000 miles (superior)
