You gotta pay to play the game but geeezzz..

I took the beast in to have the diffs checked and change the fluid and inspect everything from the MOAB trip. I had a leak coming from the rear diff. The diagnosis was that something had gotten wedged in the pinion seal and that was causing the leak (new seal $$), with the diffs off we discovered that my rear ring gear had chipped a tooth and there were stress fractures on the adjacent teeth so that has to be replaced. Not sure what happened here, I did everything right.. Hopping at Prarie City so hard I broke the drive shaft-Check, Peeling out with the new Hemi-Check, over flexing the rear in Moab and causing the rear driveshaft to hit the gas tank skid plates-check, I don't know what happened... (New ring/pinion/bearrings $$$) The front looked good, just needed new fluid (diff service $$).

I was hoping to get a roll cage this month, but I'll probably wait till next month assuming I don't break anything between now and then..

If she's causing you too many problems I'll take it off your hands

 

I think the problem is the HEMI. We can swap motors at my place when you are ready!

 

Love the acronym

 

My jeep is pretty close to yours - AND I already have the roll cage in! I think a straight across swap makes sense so you can avoid those extra expenses!

 

No, No... Its just like my kids ... deep down I don't mind paying for it.. Deep Deep Down.
