You got it Craig, also be weary of that rear diff, Vadeem had trouble with a broken ring gear in the rear diff after popping wheelies the whole way from SF to Moab.

Use Redline heavy shockproof oil.

Hello can someone give me advice what is wrong with transfer case. There is no engagement in S mode. Like in neutral? In SA mode works normally i think.

Did someone steal the rear driveshaft?
Jack the rear off the ground, select S on the transfer case, then see if the rear driveshaft is turning, maybe the diff has failed in the rear. Also try with the rear diff lock engaged and see what happens.

Dear Mercano

Thanks for reply!

Will check ! Both diff locks cylinders are seized and need to be replaced first... could this be the issue?

No, not the issue, just trying to trouble shoot a broken diff.

Any recommendation? Needs need differential gears probaby. Where is possible to source that?

p.s. i have decided to replace tyres from 205/85R16 to BFGoodrich ALL Terrain T/A KO2 265/75 R16

if broken - maybe its good time to replace also Ring And Pinion Gears for bigger tyres? what ratio would be your recommendation?
