that is exactly the problem I've been running into with my 2019 jeep Cherokee!!! thank you all so much my drive shaft was so stiff and wouldn't budge! but now I know it requires extra help lol i just need to find a vid to replace the seal for the transfer case.
Just did this on a 2012 Grand Cherokee last week.... Didn't realize there were 100 different driveshaft length options and no one had the correct length I needed lol
Ours was sourced at Summit Racing. Fortunately, we did not run into a choice on lengths. Their system chose it for us based On Year, Make, Model, Engine, Drivetrain/4wd. Hope this helps!
Hi @maxrfinch. Each bolt that fastens the chunk was finger tight. It's as if someone inspected, then slightly put it back expecting to finish up later.
Some BMW have the same setup as seen in the videos.. Also kind of stupid that you have to replace the entire driveshaft just for that one leaking o-ring. I'm glad you got it out, some car manufacturers make it so crammed that you need also to take the exhaust off. Not a huge deal with a new car but a when it's all rusted it's not so pleasant. Well done you all.
You lost points with me when you said you don't have a torque wrench and you're doing it by "muscle memory". You don't 3/8" inch-lb torque wrench? Sure you can feel when the bolt is snugging up, but I've yet to find a mechanic who gets the torque anywhere close doing it by feel.
Thank you for doing this video. I may be doing this on my 2016 2.4L Latitude soon.
Glad you got the new driveshaft replacement for this Jeep phenomenal job
Thank you @fordmuscleluis9710. Sure do appreciate your encouragement!

Whoa... where did you finally come across the right one?
@@hopfammedia it's still sitting in my yard.
So, your still seeking a replacement?

6:38 I’ve never heard of the transfer case loosening on these. Do you remember where it was loose and what needed to be tightened?

Good job. Just curious how much to replace it ?
Thanks @joshtamang-mo3jg! The shaft (link in the description) cost us a little over $500

Thank you @SuperMAZ006. The planned obsolescence for future repairs is something to behold. Thanks for posting!
Cool and awesome!!! 😊❤ #AwesomeExperience
Thanks JoSh-oo-Ah!

Ok... Good to know! We have torque wrenches for the heavy stuff, just not a good one for the light stuff. Appreciate your post!
