obviously new to the forum here but i try to search before i say anything and i am very pleased with all the information on this website.
anyway my problem is i have a howling bearing somewhere on the rear of my '98 (4.0, ax-15, np231, 8.25 rear, d30 front. if that helps?) I did the wheel bearings and that didnt change a bit. one of my friends who thinks he is a mechanic told me its the pinion bearing. which i dont really want to do unless im changing gears and adding a locker, it just seems like a lot of work that im not confident with (setting up new gears that is.) i recently noticed that my trasnfer case is coated in some sort of lube. could this be the culprit? let me know your thoughts.
also read something about dodge truck np231's being able to mingle with the jeep. i love junkyard upgrades so any information (or a link to send me in the right direction) on this would be awesome! thanks everyone, keep up the amazing work.
