Pulled mine and rebuilt it a while back, and ended up with an odd whirling noise. I figure it is one of two things, I screwed up on the rebuild, or my rear pinion bearing is gone and I just never heard it over the well worn TC

After I get this moving thing over with I am going to grab another TC and put it in. If the noise is gone or changes, it was my work. If not it is caused by something else. Either way I end up with a spare TC

After driving, use an infra-red temperature gun to look for heat spikes around the suspected bearing, also check temp of pinion. Rear pumpkin should run 130 - 150F highway driving.

I will have to try that out, I will be using the Jeep to move some of my stuff this weekend and I have a cheaper IR temp gun I use to monitor my RC batteries,just need to replace the battery in it.

it's swapped, I swapped when I went to 31s with 3.55 and swapped again when I went 4.56. Dead on at 70 according to gps and eyes.

You have 4.56 gears with 31" tires ?

Be glad. It seems strange but I get better mpg since I started beating on my Cherokee sport. I am running a performance chip so that may have something 2 do with it.

Eeek!!

Lights!! Still need to shim the housings.

correct

Currently laying under my jeep putting the transfer case back in but I got tired and lazy so I took a little nap under here and now I don't want to get up to finish...

That's funny I just got mine put most of the way in but got tired and gonna do some cleaning the underneath before I button every thing up

I'm about to be running the same. I feel like it's better to build the axles then get tires instead of the other way around. Plus I really want an LSD this winter so axles are coming first.

Had another ****ty day. Driveshaft blew up and I went to the yard and of course they don't have one damn ZJ

That sucks. The yards down here are starting to crush anything thats not a WJ or WK within a week.

Not gonna lie, I did the same thing
