Maybe now I don't have to open the trans

looks similar (but not as bad) as when i blew the bearing on the 10 bolt rear axle in my old 94 suburban.

I have faith that Mark will have it done before ya leave! If not, I can see Mark working on the Mammoth, while Diane is driving the LBC!

Mark just make sure you a safety harness!

Awesome

. I always say if your going to brake it brake it dam good and that you did. I give you an A+, job well done.

That would be sweet if you don't have to tear in to the tranny but u mine as well since you got the kit right

Gibli · August 03, 2007, 02:07:43 AM

Mark

get your ears de-waxed, you couldnt figure out the difference between your balls being squashed

and the sound of the tranny

Good luck with the repairs.

Willy Mammoth · August 03, 2007, 04:12:31 AM

It wasn't till the very end that I could tell it wasn't the trans. It sounded like a bearing locking up and you could feel the drag, but it only did it for a second then it was alright again.

I did run the trans through the gears sitting still with the Tcase in N and did not here anything.

Once it started doing it all the time and the Jeep started to veer off to one side each time I figured it to be the rear end. Then I wanted it to stop cause I wasn't going to until we were home.

You should have seen the looks we got as it was dieing a miserable death.

I 've been through this once on the highway while overtaking a trailer at 40 MPH when my wife and kids started yelling our wheel is overtaking us, the damn thing was going faster than us. Lucky we didnt have a head on collision with on coming vehicles and slowly moved to the edge sparks and fireworks trailing behind. Thank the Lord for being here today.

Gibli, I was dang ready to put on my 5 point when it really started screaming and Mark said the tire was wobbling. We were right around the corner from the house then so I just held on to the 'oh

' bar and hoped for the best.
But you know he only did this to get further toward our goal of 100 pages before MCR6

I pulled it apart and it don't look good.

If I am lucky I may be able to reuse the axle.

Duffil · August 03, 2007, 01:16:51 PM

Mark, do you remember what calipers/rotors you used on the rear discs? or what page you did it on

edit: nevermind...I found it behind the search button.

That was probably the last place you looked for it, too...

...so where is it?

Willy Mammoth · August 03, 2007, 03:32:45 PM

I remmembered where I had extra axles, but if I remmember right they have twisted splines.

Remmember this thing?

Willy Mammoth · August 03, 2007, 04:29:44 PM

Turns out only one is twisted.

Willy Mammoth · August 03, 2007, 04:31:24 PM

And this is how it got twisted.

The air line going to the locker.

YotaJosh · August 04, 2007, 10:56:36 AM

Sorry for the dumb question, but why do you have 3 diffs? Trail spare, or do you guys have another axle hiding under that thing?

Lady Di · August 04, 2007, 11:03:11 AM

Trail spare. It's on the front bumper

FATTshack · August 04, 2007, 11:35:10 AM
