2015 jeep wrangler Sahara, 2yr old differential first fluid swap came out chunky. Should I really park it?
Hey y’all, 2 years ago I had an off grinding noise coming from my jeep and I got to it shop seemingly just in time before the pinion fell clean out of my rear differential. The gears had entirely shredded themselves and embedded shards all throughout the axle.
Full axle tear down and rebuild and I was back on the road. Now 2 years later I’m changing the fluids and I found these love notes inside. Is this any kind normal/operable or should I genuinely park the vehicle until I can either get the cover off or get it back to the shop.
I used to have 35” mudders on her and was told that was a main reason for the failure, have since sized down to 32” all terrains and am primarily highway driving these days.
Update: thank y’all for calming my nerves for the next while. Going to open her up sometime in the next few weeks to take a better look but ride her til she parks herself for now.
