goldtooth Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 driving to the junkyard sat morning and going over the hill was a little icy and the jeep was spining and sliding a little going up. it would spin a little on the icy sections and then catch the dry and go up. i then tried to put it into 4hi but it wouldn't go. tried about 4 times and it would grind a little but mostly just not move, even around 15mph. i left it alone and just delt with the ice. when it cleared and it tried to speed up, i was getting these bad vibes around 1500-2000 rpms and the whole jeep feels funny. i made sure it was not stuck in 4wd as the front dline spins free. any ideas on what happened or what i should look at? rear driveline? shot tcase? thanks nathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldtooth Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 yeah, i was going to check the dline when i did the 8.8 swap. seems weird they would go suddenly like that. maybe the sudden no traction/ traction thing did them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldtooth Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 took the driveline out tonight and the rear ujoint was toast. one of the bearing caps was full of metal dust :eek: no lube in that one. the rest were fine. gonna replace both sides tomorrow. it also seems like my yoke on my tcase has more play on the splines than i think it should. might do that sye sooner than i thought. nathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
