I finally have my jeep back to 100% after over 1 year of non-stop issues and problem solving which led to me dumping an absurd amount of money into the Jeep until we narrowed down the problems.
a year later:
This section is all of the work that was done to my DRIVELINE ONLY over the past 10 - 12 months or so.
- I pulled my transmission and sent it out to Paramount performance 2 times to get re-built.
- I had to pull the Transfercase many times because of unknown issues...it also had to get shipped out to paramount to get replaced / rebuilt. Then when it was re-installed... The re-install was done improperly and the TC motor was destroyed when the TC was bolted down. The Transfercase was also damaged.... So it had to get sent out to Builderbill again to get replaced. Finally I got it back and had it installed properly.
- Then my rear diff broke...2 times. On the first rear end repair I had it repaired / replaced and had a wavetrac installed at the same time... (Long story with this one) But a month later my rear end blew up again. I had to completely replace every part in my Jeeps rear diff, set up the rear end again and re-install the wavetrac, again. All of this was because of an improper install / set up of my rear end the first time.
- During this entire process Brad noticed that my front differential had bad bushings. So the front diff had to be pulled and replaced all bushings.
Finally I got my Jeep back and it was still not running right. This is when we figured out my converter was bad. So I ordered a built converter from Paramount Performance... Had to pull my transmission for the 3rd time and install the new converter and pump TONS of trans fluid through the system to completely flush it out.
Well over 10K in driveline repairs...
