sure thing....good luck with the fix and post pics as you go.

 

yea i know ha ha

 

are you blaming the previous owner on the water? or did you do it going through a water hole... stick to 1 story... I still hope you fix it but when you defend yourself think first... you should've checked it 3 weeks ago...

 

i checked the day i bought it... it was fine...
then i drove through a creek pretty much every day...

whe i said they had lackluster upkeep i was referring to the rig overall...
quit nit-picking, it bugs the outta me so any way ....


i called and auto wrecking place and they told me for the whole rear it was run me 3 and a half bills drum to drum...
go for it?
or keep lookin....
estimated time it takes to remove/replace axle?
thanks guys

 

keep lookin... $350 seems way too much for a junkyard rear...

 

yea kinda caught me off guard i was expecting 100-150 but dang!
thanks for second opinion!

 

anywhere between 100 and 200 should be good... there are so many out there that people are getting rid of because of upgrades or parting out older jeeps... just make sure you get the right gear ratio...

 

That is the stock constant velocity front drive shaft for '85 models.

 

If there still is one, lol

 

I found a Chrysler 8.25 for 120 last year at one of the pull it your self junk yards.

Oh and I have to...



That was my rear end last year... Just my opinion, but everyone should change all fluids the first day you buy your Jeep... Then you can avoid both our fates...

 

He probably has either the NP207J or the NP229 transfer case.
Edit: the NP207j goes with the 2.5 banger and the NP229 with the chevy 2.8 crap.

 

you sure?
so just buy a new CV driveshaft and 'badda bing'?

 

i got the 2.5er

 

Sorry, I didnt read everything, But instead of putting in more money to the D35, id SERIOUSLY start looking for anything to use other than that. D44

 

what would i hve to change?
