[RICK LAKE]

double ugly John drain the rear fluid and check for silver metal pieces in the fluid or on the plug. If there is metal one of the stub shaft bearing blown or possible carrier bearing. I blew one at R&G in 99 with 3 miles on the new rear. I had a pro guy rebuild the center carrier. I now do this myself. The rear fells like it want to lockup. Mine rolled backwards fine but would bind going forward. After you get done with the rear add a rear support cover to the rear. There are 2 bolts that put low pressure on the caps for the carrier and stop the caps walking. The Jag rear is the same as a dana 44 that was in CJ-5 jeeps. I know, I broke 3 rears, there are good for 450 hp. You can get a locker with a 30 spline that is about 25% stronger than the 27 spline in you rear. CWI sells a kit for the change. I got just the stub axles and did the rest myself. Mark Williams will make these stub shafts for you also. Not sure on the price, they are good for about 600hp. Chromemoly shafts. LPW sell the carrier cover, just swap over the breather tube. Rick L.
