the rear axle had a wine so I added 3 quarts of gear oil in it and it is quite now. Guess I forgot to add fluid years ago when we set up the gears.

I got insurance on it Friday and plan on going and registering it today sometime

Ya I guess I need to do that

So it turns out that I some how ended up with the wrong detroit for the gears or vice versa. I ordered this stuff like 7 years ago so I can't do much but trade them now. I got a Detroit designed for the 5.13 gearset. I somehow ordered the 5.13 "thick" gears that are designed for the 4.10 carrier. So I need to find someone with a detroit that is about to go to lower gears and wants to trade.

That does suck, sorry to hear that Tate.

I got the correct gears ordered now. I got the g2 heat treated gears. They will be in tomorrow. Hopefully I will have time to take the jeep out to my gear guy soon.

Gears are set and jeep is mostly put back together. I can't find my full cicle axle shaft clips so I need to order some. Also I put the wrong yoke on it. I put the 1310 one on. I can't find my 1350 one so I need to order one. So other than those two small things the jeep is ready.

I played around with the jeep today. Almost wrecked it doing a 5000 redline shift into 3rd gear burnout turn. When finishing up I blew the same Hydrolic hose again. I quickly repaired it and spun it around to pull into the garage. FAIL. I ran out of fuel in the middle of the road sideways. I only had a half gallon and that wouldn't start it. I had to put the dodge in the yard to anchor the winch and then directly next to the neighbors suburban to anchor the winch again. I also had to keep turning the engine over to get it steering in the correct direction. Now it sits in the street until I go and get fuel for it sometime next week when I am back in town.

Cool story I know. Just venting.
