Something in the differential maybe? Any metal in the oil?

My 91 runs the exact same pressure range. I'm thinking his engine is normal in that regards. Personally, I get more nervous over low pressure than high.

Do you get any noise...even a click out of the wiper? Mine went and that's all I heard back there. It was corrosion in the wiper gear case. Another working wiper on eBay ran me 15 bucks plus shipping.

I went to Mobil One 10w-40w and saw a nice pressure increase immediately..maybe just a coincidence but who knows?

Ahhhh heck!! You're ALL right and I'm stupidly dead wrong! I found the dang leak while changing the oil and it is actually coming from the FRONT. Oh man I feel like a dope! What threw me off is the rear output seal on the differential is ALSO leaking. I thought the fluid had run down the...

I can certainly tell the front from the rear! It is the rear drive-shaft and the other end terminates in the rear differential. It is a 1991 jeep but it was pretty well equipped for its day. I think SYE is a slide yoke eliminator...I just never realized it had that or why it even would. I just...

I have read with keen interest all the various threads regarding the use of synthetic oil and it's real or imagined benefits. After some consideration I decided to try it for myself. I'm sharing my experience because I think it might benefit somebody else. The first vehicle I used it in is a...

I have an SYE? Well that's news to me too! I'm buying that seal tomorrow and giving this a try myself. I have those tools and I'm not afraid of new jobs as long as they are do-able by an average backyard mechanic. I don't want to trash my transfer case! thanks again...you guys are a lifesaver Steve

My poor 1991 XJ seems to have developed a leak of sorts where the rear axle fits into the transfer case. I thought it was brake fluid but it seems to have the typical spray pattern of a spinning axle. Have any of you guys or girls ever replaced what I assume is a pliable seal in there? Is this...

what year and model was this truck?

It's just a band-aid but it really works. I pulled nearly ZERO emissions numbers in my 91 and 93 oldsmobiles and my 91 XJ after running this little red and yellow bottle of RXP for a few days before inspection. If somebody doesn't believe me I saved the print-outs they give you at the end of the...

I don't know...just a guess....could it be bearings?

If I lift the rear of my jeep and turn the wheels, they both turn in the same direction and here is a metal tage on the diff cover calling for additive

Good info....I'm getting my flashlight and checking there too!

Well I never did lines before and even I managed to do it. The generic brake line comes in various lengths with the fitting on each end (yours has the same fitting on each end while some vehicles vary). I used a small common tubing cutter and bought a cheapo flaring tool that could do double...
