absolutely agree with your conclusion about the cleanliness. Having spent time driving my own bobcat and mini excavator, out on the job, I've fudged reassemblies dirt warts and all plenty of times...but these are dedicated workshops working on cars worth tens of thousands of dollars with all the...

ive got 50 litres of demineralised water, concentrate coolant, and road side assist are on the way

Yes i believe that mostly my problems are the result of poor testing and diagnosing of what initially were minor problems, not listening to and enacting a further test based on my evidences, then stuffing me around when it turns out there really was an issue thst needed urgent rectification in...

A great lot of responses there guys...all of them.very helpful. Ive had trouble sleeping thinking about this engine..i even got up at 1am and headed out in my pyjamas to check for water in the oil as well as shining a torch down the front side of the V. I cant see any evidence so far of oil...

Did you use distilled water for entire flush and refill procdure? Ive purchased 2x 4 litres of distilled water to refill (to add to coolant concentrate)...i might need to get some more?

So tell me, after doing all this, were your clothes also whiter and brighter? I only ask because if so, then the next time my wife whinges at me for getting grease and oil on my good clothes because ive been caught a number of time wearing them fixing my car, i can assure her not to worry, the...

I lts 2am in the morning here...i couldnt sleep and in my pyjamas ventured out to check...its dark obviously ...under torch light and with my poor eyesight (using magnifilying glasses) as far as i can tell, it doesnt appear that there is any water contamination in the oil or that the oil level...

I'm going to completely replace the coolant in system. I don't have any MOPAR coolant..ive purchased the Penrite recommended one for jt gladiator (purple)...they checked via my rego. I've gone for Penrite because of two things: 1. Its expensive (I don't intentionally cheap ass on fuel, oil, so...

More images of underneath..i cant seem to find any evidence of coolant leak You will also see the evidence of "shiny" new stuff on the car (long block engine, transmission, water pump, thermostat etc.)

UPDATE... OMG the coolant res is empty? Given i had been checking every time i get out of the car for coolant leaks, i am puzzled by this. When we took the vehicle to Geelong a couple of days ago, on the way down (about an hour into the trip) we stopped at a service station so my wife could...

Ok...now a request for some problem solving advice. This latest issue (engine overheat) occurred within 5 minutes of starting the car. timeline since engine installation a month ago (due to FAD seal failure and my work away commitments, car hasn't been driven much since engine was installed...

Oh wow...and i thought i was having problems! What you have described above, i recognise many of those same symptoms in my car...its uncanny. What really saddens me about all of this, i really love my car...i just want to be able to drive it, to wash it, do all the stuff those who care about...

OMG THIS IS A BRAND NEW LONG BLOCK ENGINE...WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON HERE? Im not sure if I've done 1,000km with this engine? I picked it up from Melbourne city Jeep and drove to Sunbury Victoria Australia. Sunbury to wombat state forest west of Gisborne return for a light day of 4wding...

there's a seal visible inside the diff pumpkin...does oil travel through that seal? (image has RHS intermediate axle partially removed) Also, if oil does flow between the diff pumpkin and the FAD, wouldn't the initial oil level when its first filled dropand require a topup? Ive just checked...

How does the front axle disconnect get its oil level checked? It appears to me that oil from the diff pumpkin flows across, however there is a seal between the two. How long should i wait for the tidal level between the two to equalize? Im concerned that the front axle disconnect has ro be...

I have 2022 Gladiator and due to my mistrust of the ability of Jeep mechanics, i have replaced a failed seal and bearing in front diff. Does anyone know what the oil capacity for this diff is?

Yeah im glad my conscience went to the trouble of buying...hey hang on, that fucker just spent $600 of my 4wding fuel money on parts. Why do i listen to my conscience? That son of a b$%#@🤣

I bit the bullet and got a new rhs front axle seal. Interesting that its full of grease. Its not an enclosed seal, so I wonder where this seal gets its lubicration from once the grease comes out of it? I cant seem to stop the image turning into a collage when uploaded from my phone???

Ive got the outer ring out. Dremel+flexible extension...a bit of cutting, then a hit with cold chisel and its done.

Im hearing you guys. I dont habe a lathe or mill...im kicking myself because my plan earlier this year was to build a lathe, however, ive spent almkst the entirety of the year away, so havent had the time... I will fabricate a puller up today...im sure with a drill press, multifunction welder...
