Knock in rear with Dana 44

[shadowmoto17]

My wife took the bill pretty good actually. Which is a BIG relief.

My wife almost lost it on me when I traded in the Tahoe for my JLU last year so footing that bill would be just as bad as trading in my Jeep right now.

Jesus dude, how can you possibly even stomach that bill. That's huge.

I really, really hope that Jeep steps up and nullifies that cost as that is a looot of $$$$$

I can send pics of my Jeep when it’s finished if that will help you out with the wife. I’ll even coach you on how to break it to her.

She drives a Tundra. No ounce of wording would suffice. The Jeep would have to break down first.

With all the discussion of the warranty running out, does anyone have any thoughts if the Mopar extended warranties will cover the axle assembly, and separately I guess the clutches? Their literature would seem to indicate that it does, but I wonder if they find a work around to not cover it.

Axle housing and internal parts should cover it.

I’m finally getting mine fixed. After waiting on Jeep for over 3 months, I just took my Jeep in to get fixed. I’m tired of waiting on Jeep and listening to the excuses. This will damn sure be one expensive lesson, but worth it in the long run I guess.

Did you look into a chassis shop that does custom rear ends? I had a 9" built for my Trans am capable of 1,000hp. Drives like it was stock and it was about 4k.

How long does the standard warranty cover this? 3 or 5 years? I plan to jump into an ARB locker right before the warranty expires.

5 year or 60k it's covered under the power train

Finally just got mine back after second waiting period to put new seals on (also backordered but not ordered with the axle) after new axle was replaced and immediately leaking. All seems good for now so we'll have to wait and see.

If it were mine, I would not go too long and would dump the oil and refill it.

I agree. I would do it at 500 miles.

After reading this thread, I went and took a bit of fluid out to examine. I haven't had any knocking or other issues with the LSD so far. This is at 15k miles.

Looks like at the very least I'll be pulling the cover to clean everything out really well and inspecting things.

Looks really bad, but not unexpected given the results others have posted. Choose a good synthetic and if you plan to tow increase the viscosity to 75W-140.
