Front right axle seal was bad for a while and who knows how long front diff was running with virtually no oil. Rear pinion seal was bad and replaced a few years ago, but when changing rear diff fluid, clearly water was present and possibly for years in there. So as a preventative maintenance item, both the front and rear differentials were rebuilt (new ring & pinion, seals, front diff mount, rear axles). In reality all parts actually still looked good, but I wasn't going to chance it to tow things. Unfortunately the rear end ring and pinion whine was not resolved. it is definitely quiter, but still very pronounced with the Chrysler 8.25" diff. Possibly a higher-end R&P kit might have fixed it, but functionality and cheaper costs are my priority with this vehicle. |

39000 mi | Purchased Jeep with 38,500 miles on it. First trip out the engine just died. Pulled to side of road, cut vehicle off, restarted and it went fine, then it decided to shut down again for no reason. Returned to Dealer! Only had it 7 days!!! |
41000 mi | Problem persisted through 3 mechanics until I found the solution in the UK myself. The band around the top of the shifter breaks and falls into the assembly, where it hits against the limp module, causing the vehicle to act as if it's in neutral. |
