Hi guys,
Harry Wagner, a New Mexico native, writes for FourWheeler Magazine and went out with me in last year about this time for an article he wanted to write. JP Magazine finally published it...
FYI, I haven't had any problems with the front drive shaft. CVs, yes. Drive shaft (propeller), no.
I believe that misalignment and uneven tire wear can also trigger it. I also get the ESP/BAS light after several hours on the trail in 4-LO then driving back to town (15 miles) w/o airing back up. ...
Well I ended up buying a new locker from Moparwholesale.com. It's finally in and I'm running again! Hopefully, I got the bearing and backlash adjustments correct.
There's no way I can do the whole week, but I'm hoping to make it up for a couple of days (maybe a Tuesday/Wednesday, but I'm flexible).
Eaton says that those are OEM-specified spider gears and that I need to buy the whole locker. I guess that's why they are not listed on the parts list. Looks like I need to look for a junk yard...
Randy's does not carry the spider gear set for the eLocker (QD-II) and told me I would have to go to the dealer. I am confused by the parts list now. It lists two gear sets: 05183520AA and...
I'll call on Monday and figure this out. They looked like the right p/n to me also but are short 2 teeth and 3/8" taller. Since they are a matched set the number of teeth doesn't really matter. ...
Well I don't know what happened but it looks like those gears are the wrong ones. The box reads Chrysler 8.25" 29 spline, but they are quite different from the OEM.
...
Good to know. Thanks again.
Mopar-wholesale.com shows it as superceded (p/n 4883087AC) for $140. Any difference in quality, or do they both come frome the same supplier?
Awesome! Thanks Matt!
The ring teeth looked good and hardly any wear!
Not good :-(

Now I get to learn a little...
I was afraid of that. Since the previous post, I checked for voltage on the solenoid and didn't see any. That just means it should be acting as an open diff, no?
I'll pull the cover...
Well we changed the fluids Wednesday night and there seemed to be an improvement during straight-line driving, but during turns the violent thrutching was still present unless I threw it into Neutral...
I didn't do the work.
Thanks. I'll let you know.
Well the T/C was replaced more recently but I have not replaced the diff fluids in about 30,000 miles and did not use the friction modifier, so that is a real possibility. When I disconnected the...
Is there a good writeup somewhere that describes exactly (not generally) how the QD-II works? The reason I ask is that I have been having intermittent problems where the drive system seems to leave...
I just cut off and crimped the heater lines and spliced the existing lines under the hood. It's been a year and no problems so far.
The AC lines are still intact with no rubbing issues.
Wow! Jaws of Life couldn't have uncanned that poor soul!
I'm still confused about this recall. I thought it was the transmission that shifts on its own but the notice says its the NV245 transfer...
Ok. Here's how I interpret the recall description:
A sensor on the Actuator board sends the FDC the position of the transmission on vehicle start. Cracks on the Actuator board cause a voltage...
I do feel blessed to live 6 hours from Moab! The wheeling here in NM can be as hard or harder, but the granite and limetone tears things up a lot more. Sandstone is pretty forgiving.
