[@IR-nq4qv]

NO....Troy is just a young Padawan with limited mechanical working knowledge, with a few years of supervised tutelage from Ray, with continued support he will eventually get there. The fact that he tried his best to maintain his jeeps on his own, shows keen interest and promise that he is willing to learn. I believe Ray recognized that and views Troy as an unpolished diamond with lots of room to shine. Troy started working there only because Ray wasn't looking for a know-it-all

Ps I had all the parts needed to fix it so oil filters and gaskets added 34000 miles not a bad profit

Hey just think, life could have been even better. Troy might have been a PT fan instead of a Jeep fan. I'm thinking with the carnage on those side bearings, they may have even damaged the axle housing surfaces.

When Ray was turning the diff by hand, I could see a gap between one of the carrier bearing races and the axle housing surface. It looks like the bearing surfaces in the diff are worn out too.

My yoga has 400k miles. The roll pin that holds my cross pin broke and let the cross pin come loose. Luckily my cross pin will not come out unless the ring gear is removed so it didn't grenade. The spider gears were worn badly along with the cross pin. The spider had worn into the hardened cross pin. It sounded like a bolt was laying on my rear bumper rattling around when I found it. The case had only worn around .015 so I threw a lock right locker in it with a new cross pin and put it back together. The ring gear and pinion still looked good, I change the rear different fluid often and didnt find metal until the last change. That was winter before last and it's still driving well and the locker is amazing

I am "old school" and believe that all transmissions should have drain plugs. If you find magnetized drain plug "furry" with metal bits, you KNOW there is trouble inside. And drain plugs encourage people to replace the oils, thus extending transmission/differential/transfer case life.

Whole rear end block show both will stop spending and bag. Leave the street of black tire on the road about a 100' long.

Mechanically sound, several electrical niggles which all seem to get solved by replacing perfectly good fuses and relays. Clutch grenaded in it 1 month befote christmas 😮 but that might have been the fact it was undersize for thejob, the replacement had a bigger clutch plate.

Hi Ray. I was wondering…when you took over the shop space, there were (and still are) a bunch of vehicles in the lot. Every now and then you pull one of them in and work on it. Where did these vehicles come from? Who owns them?

[@moushunter]

Its a Jeep thing? I am on my 5th Jeep. I had a Commanche, a Wrangler, a Cherokee, a Patriot, and now a Grand Cherokee. I've had Chevy pick ups, 3 ford pick ups, a Dodge pick up, a ford van, a plymouth van, an AMC hornet, a Renault Encore, a GMC Vandura, 2 toyota pickups, and various other cars. The Jeeps have been the best of all the vehicles. I had over 200K miles on my Wrangler, and the 1988 Commanche, I bought new, is still on the road with the same guy I sold it to. Next to that was the GMC Vandura. I bought the Vandura in 1980 for $700, put $250 into it for tires and a tune up and drove it 9 years putting less than $300 in repairs after the first work. The worst were the 1998 Plymouth van (7 major transmission repairs in 11 months) and the 2 Toyota Trucks. One of the Toyotas was the worst of the worst. I bought it brand new. The entire dash squeaked constantly. Even the radio wouldn't drown it out. One day I'm driving down the road and hit a New England pot hole and the radio fell out of the dash. At 62K miles the main crankshaft bearings seized up...not covered by the warranty. Even with the oil change receipts every 4500-5000 miles the engine had 3/4" thick gunk covering it. Many years later Toyota admitted it was a design flaw. The factory rebuilt engine lasted 12K miles before the block cracked.
