Customer States: Engine barely runs and has a severe lack of power. It also has the occasional no start or long cranking before it starts. So far I've found vacuum leaks, clogged ports, antifreeze leaks from the water pump and the electric fan is damaged. I had the fuel pump, filter, spark plugs, ignition wires, and a distributor cap and rotor. It also has a new coolant temp sensor, O2 sensor, MAP, intake temp, IAC and throttle position sensor replaced. The ECM / PCM has been replaced too. See part one.

Hello everybody! Good day to you. Actually good evening. It's it's evening for me. I'm trying to get a little bit of traction done on Project Jeep because uh, there's a massive update on Project Jeep And that update is that I'm putting a clutch and a flywheel and a trans mount in it.
Transmission is coming out which means uh, I've got to do something about that uh, that exhaust that's in there because it's super duper Rusty and probably will not survive removal. but uh, before I do that. I wanted to uh, crack open these covers on these axles because I'm going to do a fluid exchange on these. but I want to inspect something because I hear a little bit of grinding action going down right here.
Yeah, it doesn't sound too healthy I want to take a look in there? Oh, by the way, while I get set up here if, uh, if you're just tuning in and have not been to this channel before and you are curious in, Project Jeep I will leave the links to the other previous episodes of project Jeep down in this video's description I'll also leave one in the pinned comment just in case you forget. Anyway, ending my moment of Shameless self-promotion I'm going to pull all these bolts out except for that very top one. We leave that there that way when I crack this thing loose of the blue silicone, that's uh, binding it, it all doesn't rush out and dump all over me at one time because that would be bad. All right.
So what I want to do here is get behind cover that's not going to work. It's actually a tool for a window crank. remember crank? Windows that's a window crank tool for a GM This thing's just so glued on I don't want to get behind it with a pry bar? I'm afraid I'll bend it. Yeah, we're going a little bit.
There we go. Foreign. Got me foreign? Oh, that's not good. Oh no man.
I Expected to find a little bit of wear, but this is this is wrecked right here. Oh look at that gear. Hang on. These lights are killer.
It's not working there. We go look at that gear right there. You see how sharp it is I think it's worn to nothingness. Oh no, yeah, I didn't expect that.
Let's give it a Twist and see what the other side looks like. Uh wow, somebody was doing Jeep things with this Jeep Curious enough though, it's just that one side over there. not this side over here. How about those spider gears? Yeah, those are pretty bad.
Look at that thing. Yep, all right. Well, it's gonna change the tune a little bit. See if the the pin is worn? if? yeah, carrier's worn too.
See that pin flopping around? Watch this. What I'm doing is rotating the drive shaft with my hand right there. See that. and then he's acting on the ring gear moving the carrier housing and then we can see that pin is flopping around.
Yeah this. uh, this rear has got a problem. It at least needs a set of spider gears in it. And I bet this is the type that's pinned where it doesn't have the bolts that holds it.
No no, no. Oh sweet Score! Look at that. It does have the bolts. Some of these have a like a roll pin driven into them. They're a real pain too. huh? to replace or extract or install for that matter. But yeah, yeah, we're gonna need to set up. at least put a set of gears in this.
This isn't good. man. This kind of puts me in a pinch I didn't want to be in I I Did not expect to find Carnage inside of this differential. Where's my 8 mil? There it is I need to I need to pull that pin out.
Hey what do I do? What do I do? We're running out of funds to fix this. Jeep with I mean changing a transmission and fixing that exhaust is not easy or cheap. Or easy and cheap. It's not the right size, all right.
and those gears aren't cheap. Oh what do I do? What do I Do tell you what? I'll make you guys a deal I'm gonna ask you guys to help me out in this one. I Need some assistance if this video. Here's the deal.
If we can get Let's do. Let's start with a low number. Uh let's do 12 000 gravities 12 000 light gravities. If we get 12 000 like socket gravities then I will fund the replacement of uh of the gears in the Jeep Um, if we do not get 12 000 like gravities then uh well then I don't know what to do because I'm going to be up a creek without any gears.
Yeah I'm curious to see if Shameless self-promotion Works in a pinch with like buttons so uh let's try it if you have not already uh done the like button thing and do that right now like right now is your opportunity While I try to find a uh a wrench that's gonna fit. Oh come here. maybe that one. Well I tried to find a wrench that's going to fit that little uh 12 point 12 point volt.
Okay, that one didn't fit. Uh how about my Driveline set? maybe the eight I don't know, it's not an eight I already tried an eight that didn't work. uh and I'm gonna have to get a tool to fit that thing I've run into this before on a Jeep and I had a heck of a Time getting it the appropriate tool to remove that thing. Maybe it's a seven? Do I have a seven? I'm sure I have a seven I do have a seven.
That might do it even though it's not metric. that's standard. seven is not gonna do it. Uh yeah, this is.
uh, this is getting worse by the nanosecond. Okay, I think I got something. Uh, it's not exactly a 12 point, but it's a. uh, it's a six point star.
Drive flank socket. that might might get in there and get that guy out of there. It's it. gets a decent bite on it at least.
And yeah, the thing is not even tight. All right, that's cool. It's gonna come out all right. That brings my immediate stress level down slightly.
Unless it stops, you're gonna come out of there. You were just turning. What is this? Well, one thing that's happening is this: uh. this end cap right here is obstructing my ability to get that socket on that.
Fastener So I'm going to take this off. It's coming out anyway. It has to be not safe for operation on the roads. Come out Okay, that looks good. Okay, let's try it again and that's a sloppy fit. But it does. It does hook up. as long as I don't let it slip and round off that bolt.
it should be good. I'm going to replace that anyway. I Don't put these things back in. not that bolt because that bolt retains this pin.
and if that pin comes loose from the carrier, it'll flop around and absolutely destroy the differential. It'll ruin the case. It'll ruin the carrier, ruin the axles. Everything things used to break when they came out.
I'm surprised this one's enough in a singular position. All right. Joe Now we've got that pin out of there. Let's turn this a little bit so we can see what's going on.
We're gonna pull the big pin out. Look at all that wear. You can see it, feel it, and that pin is junk. Let's rotate this back around and I'll go ahead and pull the C-clips out that hold the axles in because I've got to pull the two axle shafts out.
Go push these in there. It is okay. that's our two C clips. Those are what hold the axles into the axle housing.
Usually you gotta fish these out with a magnet. Uh, why isn't this one coming out? Okay, now it is C-clip Hence the name C-clip because it's shaped like a Like A C C is for cookie. That's good enough for me. Okay, now the axles can come out of the housing and all we got to do is get a hold of him, give him a tug and come right out and we'll repeat.
On the passenger side. Grab it, pull it right on out of there. You live right there. for now.
back down below. Two more bolts here, one more cap, and that's gonna free up this whole assembly right here. And then we can pull that out, disassemble it, and inspect it for further damage. We'll also get a good look at the bearings that one might have been spinning.
No, never mind. that's just Grease what am I talking about? Okay, these are heavy. Don't drop them and that's a bearing race. No worries.
Oh no, that was a shim. That was the shims. I Got the races. Shims are recovered left side and right side.
Put those inside of the lid so they don't get lost. How's this pinion looking? Not too shabby. All right. Yeah, there's no pitting or damage to this pinion gear that can stay good.
That's one of the side bearing races. The Other Side Bearing race. That's okay, but what's not okay. Spider gears pull them out.
They're not going back. so why not? That's the nasty one right there. Uh, that thing is sharp. that is super sharp on those edges.
If I slide my finger across that, it's going to cut me pretty bad. Yeah, that's that's. very, very sharp. Just gonna put that down right there.
This one's good. These that's not so good. Big chunk missing out of that one. See that another chunk right here.
Yeah, this is. these are wrecked. Hey, tell you guys what? I'll double down on my deal about uh Shameless self-promotion if you guys subscribe to the channel and this video gets a thousand subscribers. I'll upgrade the carrier to a locking differential or at least a limited slip. I'll get a limited slip like a Yukon or uh. well. who else makes those things? Yeah, maybe a Yukon I like Yukon gear now sponsored. just that's just what I've used.
Yeah, that's the deal. So 1200 likes I'll buy these parts 1 000 subscribers. I'll buy this part and upgrade it to a locker. What do you guys think? So clearly none of that's going to happen today or in this video.
but what can happen in this video is this: Make it nice and shiny. Get rid of all that old nasty we can inspect first. Additional damage. Air Air is over here.
All right. Going back in that way is rain. Big old fat rain. Sometimes the brains seem to come straight up from underneath.
All right. enough screwing around. Uh, let's go ahead and pull the cover off this front diff. Whoa.
I Almost hit my Noggin Let's pull the cover off this front axle and make sure that one's not destroyed. Also, I'll put you guys like over here off the side. How's that? Can you see good? All right, we're gonna do the same mode of operation here. Let's have a orange silicone so you know it's good.
There we go on clicks. Leave that one in. Ding Dip is done. You know there is one fatal flaw in my in my Jeep giveaway idea and that is that most of the people who are returning viewers are already subscribers.
So I don't I don't know how I'm gonna inspire others to to become subscribers I Hate asking because that's like it's like panhandling. It's like asking for money. it's not my thing. rather earn than you can ask if that makes any sense.
So I hope I earned your subscriber ship or your like buttons like don't do it just because I'm asking I need to earn that otherwise I I'm incomplete on my insides rambling over. let's move over some here. Take a peek at this. uh, this gear set up in the front axle? nowhere near the Carnage There's a little bit of wear on those gears, but they're not.
They're not flipping flopping and moving around like the others were and they're certainly not filed to like a razor sharp point. So I think these are okay. not off the triple down on my deal to put Lockers in both of them. I'll tell you what: I'll do lockers in both at 5 000 Subs If you guys 5 000 of you subscribe to this video, I'll put Lockers in both of these axles but I don't I don't think we got the Manpower for that.
So these are just gonna stay here for now. All right, Well let me back up a little bit. All right. let's go ahead and get this old fluid out of here.
Shiny Encore. Cool shiny air. Turn back enough. All right, that's enough.
All right, we're out. Air is over here. You know there's no way I'm doing anything with that rear end and uh, and not addressing these bearings that are back in here I'm at least gonna put seals in it. Uh, pop these seals out and take a look at what we got. Seal gravity All right. More lumens. What are we looking at here? We're looking at some acceptable bearings. It's behind them.
A bunch of gunk. Yeah, those are okay. I may change those I may not. I mean I've gone this far.
might as well keep going. Okay, so these bearings. Those are going to take a slide hammer to remove them. There's a little tool that goes in there.
Uh, you know what? I'll just show you I was gonna just not do it I'll show you. hang on. where's my Slide Hammer I think it's over here. There it is.
Check this out. You guys gonna like this? Thank you And I think that's the adapter. Yeah, This little guy goes into the bearing, straightens out like a drywall anchor, and then you thread your slide hammer to it too big. Thread your slide hammer to it and pop the bearings out.
Where's the little one there? it is, Huh? It slides. It's a hammer. It's a slide hammer. Hmm.
Okay, what we're gonna do here. We thread this tool on the end of the slide hammer. You don't have to make it super tight, just thread it on. If I can figure that out, there we go.
It's good. Thread it on, stick it in, pull it until it's tight. We keep pulling on the rod. don't ever stop pulling on the rod.
See that? Hang on to that. and then we just grab the hammer. Pay attention. There you go.
Here it comes. Ah, Money shot. See it slowly coming out. Booyah! that is one extracted bearing.
Let's get the other side real quick. And then I think uh I think we're about done here. Okay I'm cheating with this one. I did not pull the seal out yet Seal's just still hanging out right there.
Oh, watch. Two for one? Uh, what do we got here? Not too bad. It's okay, but they're cheap. You put new ones in it.
looks like we're doing an excellent build two. this is. Project Jeep Raging on signing out I'm closing this one out. it's getting late.
See you guys later. Thanks for watching. And most importantly, don't forget to have yourselves great day! Smash that like button. I Uh, don't know if you guys can see it because the lighting is kind of intense, but there is metallic glitter all over my hand.
You see that there it is. I'm shiny. Yeah, that bearing was trash. There's metal shavings all over this.
Look at that. Look at that. Not cool. That's probably part of the gears and and whatnot.
That's what that is. but still. it was rolling around inside of everything. Total rebuild time.
You're making great content and doing good work so you're earning every bit of money you make from your job and videos.
Thanks
To be honest I dont "Like" any videos
Ill like the video for this jeep and the new shop though
Just watching Ray fire hosing that diff with brake cleaner. How much does a can cost in the US, here in Australia a can costs about $9 which is about $6 USD.
if I could sub twice, I would 😀
What do you want to bed that someone enjoyed doing one tire fires?
thankyou Ray a very addictable project,,keep them coming,,👌👌👍
Y'all smell that? Smells like………like "I'm going to have an OUTSTANDING day!!!" I LOVE the smell Diff fluid in the morning!!!
Said NO ONE EVER!!!!! 😝😣
A while back I saw a 30's era video explaining differentials.
It was actually very good at explaining, starting from the basic mechanics of levers.
"Worn to nothingness"
Situation normal for a Jeep.
Been there, done that.
Spider gears never survive for long in a vehicle used off road a lot with an open diff. Personally, I'd just replace the spiders & pin and call it done.
C is for cookie… Can I like the video twice?
only 14 hours old and already at 40,000 likes.. I guess your doing the diff gears..
A call to the customer is definitely in order, that bill is certainly getting bigger. You say it also needs part of the exhaust system replaced as well.
Do you have a PO Box to send stuff to?
136k views and 40 000 likes, seems you are paying for the replacement gears 😜😜
great mini series 🙂 just a thought whilst axels are out replace wheel studs with longer units to aid thread count on wheel spacer nuts 🙂
You have earned my sub. No doubt about it. discovered your videos half a year ago. Nut sure what led me into your channel, But I know I watched the first one for the random repair video, but stayed for the monologue articulation.
Take sponsors.
Thanks!
Panhandling is a constitutional right covered by the first amendment, the Supreme Court has ruled it so. Never be ashamed to do what the constitution says is your human right.
I wonder if you or the customer might have a little luck at the salvage yard for a dana rear end.
pretty soon he'll be our replacement scotty kilmer
light gravity
perfect excuse to get a locker!
Thanks! I'll throw in a few bucks for the Jeep salvation.
Looks exactly like a Ford 8.8 differential. I had a 1997 Ranger 4.0 Splash that grew an M62 Eaton Blower and a Trac Loc Diff and it actually made it a bit more unpredictable in snow and ice. It had 215K miles on it when I sold it to a Teenager who managed to lose the rear on a wet street and hit a curb with the right rear and snapped the axle. He got it going again and may still be running.
Win!
I know its not your vehicle. But seems like this person is rebuilding it at this point.
There is one thing my Chef and Dad always Told me. Do it right or don't do it at all.
I am sure the owner wil have no issue with this fix as its pretty much needed.
Also Ray have you thought on reaching out to after market manufacturers for sponsorship?
Going Solo you really should. You have the Views/likes to get stuff on discount/free at this point.
I have watch you videos for some time… OK fix the Jeep.. I subscribed … You Go Ray … From. Canada 🤣❤️
gravity !
What could have caused that gear to wear so much? Was it lack of oil changes? Lack of oil? If it were the latter, I'd expect the other 3 spider gears to be worn. Hmmm- improper tempering and hardening? Hmmm. Thanks for the video, as always, Ray!
Will anyone here admit to owning this Jeep? I am just wondering if it is a Ray project.
Two different sized tires?
Ray you’re so good and trustworthy you make me want to drive to FL from CA to have you work on my truck!
Don't forget to run a rag through the axle tube to clean out the glitter.
its not shaped like a C, its shaped like a U
OMG … brings back too much memories!!! … LOL
Good time to replace those wheel studs so those spaces fit better.
man glitter
Dude, you're at 39k likes… i guess you're buying spider gears 😂 Which is mighty nice if you.
I can smell that rear end when you cracked loose that plate
Ray, you are the best advertisement for brake kleen ever! LOL ROF
This jeep has taken 1 heck of a turn. Went from a little engine work to a restoration. And you didn't cut to go change because I know it got on your shirt
"it slides, it's a hammer, it's a slide hammer." Idk why I snort laughed at that…
90w bukkake! 38k likes as of 12 hours late.
I unsubscribed… then subscribed again. So that best count towards the goal 😅
replace the whole diff.
Thanks! Love the project jeep
Why would you fund the gears and not the customer??? Is this actually YOUR jeep? Ok, based on talking about a giveaway, I've concluded this is YOUR jeep. I think you're going to need to put disc brakes all the way around, unless you want to work on those crusty drum parts. Spend money on shoes and hardware and wheel cylinders, or put that towards discs?
@YUKON Sponsor this man’s!!!
What is the backround on the jeep? Is it a customer, yours, a friends? You've had it awhile and doing a lot on it, so not your typical customer car.
New live stream split a % for project jeep?
nothing a lincoln locker wont fix
jeeps shouldnt have spider gears anyway
Is project Jeep one of your own vehicles? or did the costumer give you free reign to make it good?
I’ve been subscribed for about a year and told my buddies about this entertaining channel
That pin looked like a project farm lubricity test that failed
Okay fine look for the wrench I'll smash the like button
The husband and I are jeep owners… All the tools falling and stubborn bolts (nuts)… It's a Jeep thing. All of ours behave like this… They don't like new parts. They know they will be better "fixed" once it's all said and done, but they will fight you all the way.
Get a LubeLocker rear dif seal.
WOOHOO easy 12k like gravities. Love the videos and this series is awesome. Keep ‘em coming Ray
Keep up the the brake part cleaner bits please. They are one of my most favorite things in each upload. Good luck with your upcoming projects!
I bet this is Ray's Jeep.
I know it's a window crank tool for a GM, how else do you remove those stupid c clips 😛
12mm?
Don't worry about the spider gears, just weld them up.
I've been watching this series with much interest, as I'm a Cherokee driver and a couple of my buddies are YJ Wrangler drivers. One suggestion we have is regarding the shock you installed on the right rear. At least one of the YJ owners and myself have had our exhaust melt our shock boot. The only solution we had was to flip the shock so the boot was on the bottom. It's a bit scary having smoke coming from the back and suddenly realizing you're melting plastic on your exhaust.
Love your content introduction “Project Jeep”😊😊🤭🤭🤭🤭😉😂😂💰💰… Parts cannon “AWAY”😂😂😂😂💰💰
Weld the diff.
THE DIFF FARTED🤣😂🤣LMFAO thanx ray you just made my week
SLIDEHAMMER! Yay!
Me watching at the 12hr mark and seeing 38k likes. Ray has underestimated the power of the internet.
I miss your Dooo due doodles dildlily dooos
That's right. The square hole.
Ray you earned my subscribe I enjoy watching you work on cars it is helpful to watch your videos especially if you work on something that we as viewers might own.
Dear lord I haven't seen one eaten that bad yet on the spider gears. Blown up sure, but not devoured like that. I know duragrip makes a helical style posi for around the same price as the Yukon ones.
Yep, Dana 35 doing Dana 35 things lol
Shared this on my FB. Hope someone who sees it gives you a follow.
I've never seen anyone use so much brake cleaner. Might be worth investing in a Sure shot sprayer/buckets of cleaner.
If you think the brake cleaner is bad try spraying the rattle can undercoat
brakes look pretty rusty crusty. like the vids.
Generous to offer to fund replacement parts. High five bro.
I can't wait for the rear diff install. I have a 99 TJ that has a Dana 35 with 3.07 gears. Not exactly hill climber material. Although, given enough runway, I could probably hit 120mph with a tailwind. I have a Dana44 with 4.10 locker on the floor ready to install. Just wish my knees hadn't turned into a pain factory. Makes getting up and down off the floor a life altering event. Nonetheless, your channel has put a spark in my desire to get back out in the garage and give it a go.
You may want to take a close look at the axle shafts for spline wear. Dana 35's are not as robust as a 44 and are more prone to breaking the axle. A new locker will add some stress to the axle shafts. The 35 will spit the axle shaft out of the housing if it breaks. I know you are in a relatively flat area and most encounters with rough terrain will be of the mud type and not rocks. As long as everything is in good shape and the owner is not of the "hold my beer" ilk, a 35 should be OK.
Brakes need shinny!
Love the idea of you keeping the Jeep project as low budget as possible but… All those repairs you've found are essential to a make it safe to be on the road again. I hope the owner knows that and can help off-set your time and money. I can't wait to see what's next.
Swap in a third member from the wrecking yard that’s the most cost effective solution
I would go to a junkyard!
Because of this video I actually realized I wasn't subscribed. I don't even know why I love your videos either, I'm not a mechanic or a car guy really. But I love the videos keep it going brother.
My old man taught me to check the compression, transmission, drive train and suspension before putting ANY money into a car. No point putting all that money and time into the engine only to find you need thousands in the undercarriage or other you did not plan. HOWEVER… LOVING watching you fix this thing up !! I'd be happy to drive it in the end !
Will it count if I un-subscribe and then re-subscribe?
I unsubscribed so I could resubscribe, I'm going to do that 1000 times…
Great work
12 thousand like socket gravities, right here baby!!!!!
Not safe for operation on the road, yet DID NOT FIX wheel spacers with wrong lug bolts on wheel spacers, remember your wife and kid could be in the other lane…
Well apart from jeeps being absolute buckets, I’d say the oil viscosity drained from that differential was not hypoid gear oil. Parts are dirt cheap in the US obviously because that car would be binned here. The only people who
Love their jeeps are to embarrassed to admit they fucked up buying one.
Isn't that bolt an inverted torx or is it a 12 point
This Jeep NOT cheap!😀
Sign number 1: Rear end fluid was wat too watery.
