Great video, had an all out battle today getting that driver side CV axle out.
Good job
I have C200F front axle on WK, any idea why on drain and refill only about one quart goes in?, specs say 1.8 Qts, I drained it with vehicle level, does the front need to be raised to get the rest of the oil out? The rear C213R I got about 1.8 Qts. after pumping it out..
My 2008 Grand Cherokee front differential makes noise when I’m driving at low speed, not making noise at high speed.
Stephen so qd2 will bolt up to the qt2 and the front drive shafts are the same as far as length ?
I have a 08 limited 5.7 with Electric front differential an I bought a front differential out a 2005 4x4 without electric will it work in mine ? October 29,2023
How do I get my drive side cv shaft back in?
QD2 2006 5.7 hemi limited. I got it half way or more on and popped but still not flush with the seal. Any ideas?
Popped out super easy will not slide all the way back in
I think I put some gear oil on the locking ring and grease on the sealing surface and slid it in. Can you compare the wear ring against your old shaft to see if it is all the way in? The QD2 is harder, you may need to lift up the other front wheel and turn it a bit to get the splines to line up. Take a look inside the differential to see if they are no longer aligned.
Thanks for the video it was very informative...I'm having a awful noise on acceleration in my 06 grand Cherokee wk 3.7. like a metal grinding noise. It sounds horrible and Its been driving me nuts for weeks. Any thoughts? Thanks again.
I would check the front differential mounts first, they can let the prop shaft hit against the vehicle when they are worn out
Hi. Thanks for the video.
I own a stock 2008 WK diesel. What is the gear ratio, You think, on my Jeep..? 3.73? Thanks.
Put your VIN into this link to get your build sheet. The diesels sold outside of North America may have had a different ratio. www.chrysler.com/webselfservice/BuildSheetServlet?vin=3B7KE23C2NM533094
i need to change the front differential of my 2006 Grand Cherokee but how can i tell if i have an electronic limited slip one or not?
You can count the number of bolts on the cover. The cover sitting on the table is a non-ELSD. The other two are ELSD and have a lot more bolts.
Check for the electrical connector on the pumpkin housing not the cover
Is there anyway to fit the front differential from a 2006 jeep grand cherokee on to a 2010 jeep grand cherokee??? The mechanic servicing the 2010 jeep says the differential fits but now he needs a drive shaft for this 2006 replacement differential.
he should change the pinion flange between the two differentials and use the original shaft, you can see the different flange types in my video
@@SteveRivett Thank you! Just reviewed the video again.
Hi my friend
I have same problem I change bushing in front differential after that the noise came ,,I dont no where the noise ,, in side the differential or shift cv joint,
Please help
All you can do is check the bearings for and CVs for looseness. You can also change the front differential fluid to see if it is dirty and look for broken boots on the CV joints. Eventually the problem will get bad enough that you will be able to find out what part is bad. I think I was able to drive 20,000 km before I changed the differential.
@@SteveRivett I change oil differential . I will check bearing but you means hub bearing or differential bearing?
I have a 2006 Jeep Commander, there's a loud hum (hum being a small explanation) and it only happens when I accelerate or cruise, if I let off the gas it's totally quiet. There's no clunking, clicking or rattleing sound. I've replaced both axles and front hubs,,the noise certainly sounds like it's in the front, maybe the differential. Hoping you might know some about a jeep! Is there a bearing that's causing the trouble in my front carrier? By the way it rides and drives great. Thanks.
I’m having the same problem. Did you solve it?
@casperszn994 No,,i haven't worked on it lately. the noise, or humming sound, hasn't gotten any worse. I'm 90% sure it s some sort of bearing in the front differential which is a bad job to remove and tear down. I hateto work or spend money untill I know for sure what it is. I guess it it flies out I'll know.
Similar problem. Does it sound like this: ua-cam.com/video/3idWxBxP25k/v-deo.html@@haze61151
Have you installed the elsd yet and we’re you able to put the switch on to manually lock it?
I installed the differential and some of the wiring but never hooked it up to a switch. People have done it in the past so I know it does work. There are two links in the description to write-ups that I did on this job instead of filming it.
Tackling the same project here. I have a question though: on my front ELSD diff, the wiring was cut from the harness where the click-in connections meet. Would you happen to know a part number for that? (Or at least point me to one?) It's not the one that connects directly inside the diff to the solenoid. I'm referencing the one side that will need to have extra wire soldered on, then routed to the toggle switch itself. I've looked everywhere on the internet so far but couldn't find anything.
I think it is similar to a gasoline fuel injector connector that Dodge used in the past. Here's the parts diagram but I didn't see a page dedicated for replacement connectors. archive.org/details/JeepGrandCherokeeWK2010PartsManualOCR508Pages/page/n89
@@SteveRivett Thanks for the quick response! I'll make sure to take a look at it some more
@@SteveRivett Turns out the connector is exactly like the connector for the ABS wheel speed sensor. Looks exactly the same and plugs in and snaps perfectly. Just some extra info in case anyone's doing a QD2 swap and got their diffs from a pick n' pull without the proper length/missing wiring :)
This front diff from WK is assembly? Where to Find new ring and pinion ?
the best solution is to buy a used differential do a full replacement unless you want special gears, then I would go to a 4x4 shop
Did you have QT2 or 1? I have a 08 GC with QT1 and i am looking into doing this also. I want a electric locker up front. Was planning on wiring the locker to a switch in the cab to actuate the solenoid for a full lock.
Was wondering if you have any tips or know of any problems ill run into. I have 3.07 gears now, ill either have to change the rear to 3.73 or i was thinking of putting 3.07 gears in the QD2 front diff instead....
Im still in the planning stage of this project, i think itll be awesome if i had a electronic lock in the front with something like a spartan locker in the rear. Trying to figure out the best way to get there. Any help is appreciated!
I don't know much about the QT1 other than it doesn't have 4LO. If you have a V6 and want to go offroad you will want the 3.73 so that you have a chance. I wouldn't regear an axle, I would just change them. You will need to crawl under a few vehicles and see what differences there are between the drivelines or look at the parts books I have linked in my banner.
@@SteveRivett right on. Thanks dude!
My 05 is being noisy when I get on the accelerator and stops when I let off, I drove it to work this morning and it whined but I put it in neutral and coasted, sound went away. What are your thoughts?
I would look at the front differential mounts as they wear out. You should also check the condition of the fluid in your axles and fluid in your transfer case along with checking the universal joints and CV joints. It may be multiple problems all adding together.
Pinion bearing 100 percent
Do you know if the elsd gear ratio can be lowered or increased? Specifically from 3.73 to 3.07
I have heard people using 3.07 axles but don't know if you get ELSD in that ratio.
I've never seen 3.07 LSD gear cases for the WK. I plan to swap mine to 3.07 gears but am fine staying with open differentials. Use Jscan (app) to reprogram the transmission ecu.
I have a 2005 Jeep grand Cherokee. My driver side cv axle was hell to get out and it’s seeming impossible to get my new cv to go in. Should I get a new differential? If I get a new one will the cv axle install easier??? Any and all advice is appreciated, thank you all!
I would make sure you have the correct part # and keep trying. Getting the driver side out is really hard.
@@SteveRivett thanks for the reply! I got it out I just can’t my new one in
The new one’s splines look similar to the old one I took out
I have a 2010 grand chrokee. That has a BAD vibration only while acceleration Could that be the front drive shaft or right side cv axle
the real problem may be the front differential mounts, you will need to get under there and start checking things out. Does it clunk badly when shifting from drive to reverse, etc.?
@@SteveRivett so I went under and the front drive shaft propeller shaft has some play and the boot is completely torn. The right front cv axle has some up and down movement where it goes into the front diff tube. The rear mount is torn a bit but not to much. Can a small tear like that cause such a vibration. I have pics and a video of the noise if u want me to send them your way. I’ve been trying to fix this for 6 months now
To answer your question when I shift from park to drive or reverse it has a slight clunk and noise. Terrible vibration under acceleration.
@@richiesavacool9386 did you figure it out bud? I experiencing the exact same thing. I did the CV joint on the for the front drive shaft it didn’t make a real difference.
@@mattmccoy2410 no I haven’t I did the front diff bushings and front driveshaft and no difference. Has to be the rear diff pinion angle for the transfer case. Idk tho
Did u ever install it and did it work???
Yes, this is a spare differential. Follow the links in the description to see the write-up of the install.
I've never had such dam problems to get a axle out in my.oife its been 2 days of me beating the hell out of it! So I said fuck it and started dropping the diff.
how was it noisy?
It was whining at all speeds when driving. It didn't make any noise when up on a 2 post lift.
