hello,

could anyone tell me which kind of differential this is

thanks, marc

 

Chrysler 8.25.

 

thank you Jimbo Slice

 

does anyone know what size socket fits the pinion nut on this axle so i can make sure i have this size before i take it apart. ive looked at a few places but cant seem to find this at forehand

 

finally found it, its 1 1/4 in case someone was wondering

 

A LOT of grease there! Make sure the vent in the housing,the hose,and valve at the end of it are clear and working properly.

 

good tip thanks, im getting into it tonight

 

you were right, the vent hole on top of the axle was clogged up and the valve at the end of the hose aswell, poked it clear with a tiny screwdriver and shortened the hose 1/2 an inch cause it was torn where it meets the axle vent.

thanks marc

 

 

Might want to consider running that up into the engine compartment. The front axle breather is there. See in the shot where I circled. I did mine, bought the little top hat breather from Jeep, and have plans to do the same with my tranny and transfer case ones too.

 

You should have took them spider gears out and thrown a locker in while you where in there.

 

there is a lot i want to do to this jeep but were only here limited time and it will be put back in storage for almost a year, ive did the necessary stuff.. the hose is just dangling around i figured were not going through deep water soon i guess i should tie wrap it to the top of the differential to have it a bit higher of the ground.

that cover pan with the drain plug seems handy, if i ever run into one i will keep it thanks

marc
