Asked by Jjenkinszx@hotmail.comAnswer
YOU HAVE SHOOK ALL OF THE DRIVE-LINE --FLAT GROUND IN NEUTRAL---WHEELS CHOCKED?
PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO PINION AND YOKE ON THE DIFF?
"U"-JOINTS?
IS THIS A 4X4?
THE MEDIC
LIMITED SLIP OR POSI-TRACTION DIFF?
THE MEDIC
All wheel drive, there isn't any play in the DLine
IMMA JEEP CJ KINDA GUY
I'M NOT REAL FAMILIAR W/ YOUR RIG
ON JEEPS THAT NORMALLY MEANS FRT AND REAR TRAC-LOK OR LIMITED SLIP
HAS YOUR FLUID BEEN CHANGED IN THE DIFFS AND THE SPECIAL ADDITIVE (HYPOID OIL) NOT BEEN ADDED??????
IF IT'S IN THERE, AS IT SHOULD BE----FIND AN ABANDONED LARGE PARKING LOT
DRIVE IN "TIGHT FIGURE 8s" (NOT CIRCLES) OVER AND OVER (WITH A PREVIOUS CJ, IT TOOK MAYBE 12-15 "8s" TO LUBRICATE THE CLUTCH PACKS INSIDE THE DIFFS) THE POPPING STOPPED (MY POPPING WAS MOSTLY IN TURNS)
THIS IS NOT A RACE!---MIGHT AT LEAST LET A BUSINESS THAT WILL BE OBSERVING, IN ON YOUR INTENTIONS
SOMETHING I FAILED TO DO AND WAS PULLED OVER (EVEN THOUGH I WAS GOING SLOW) THEY SAID I WAS DRIVING RECKLESS...THE ONLY THING THAT SAVED ME WAS I HAD THE AMC SERVICE MANUAL TURNED TO THAT PAGE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT.
RETURN W/ GOOD NEWS
THE MEDIC
All wheel drive with a locking diff.
MEANT TO TELL YOU TO MAKE SURE ALL OF YOUR FLUIDS ARE TOPPED OFF THROUGHOUT THE DRIVE TRAIN.
THE "8S" DO ANYTHING?
FOR SURE, IT WON'T HURT NUTHIN"!
