No they didn't know it was re-geared. I told them it was after they offered to replace the axle.
Update: 6MT Mojave, 5.13 final drive, 37" Ford spec KO2s on 17" Method Bead Grip wheels 0 offset.
After replacing the pinion bearing the truck still makes noise on decel but it's definitely less...
They didnāt know it was re-geared.
I told them it was, after they offered to replace the rear axle.
I knew that I was voiding the warranty on the rear diff when I re-geared the Jeep so Iām not mad about it ?
My dealership confirmed that the noise was coming from the rear diff and promptly offered to replace the whole rear axle! Love that Jeep is taking care of us, but I didnāt want to go that route because I donāt want to go back to the stock gear ratio.
Brought it back to the shop where the...
My 21 mojave manual trans has the same whine when I let off the gas. The noise is there whether Iām in gear or coasting. Whine goes away when Iām on the power and accelerating. Sounds like itās coming from under the back of the truck.
I just cracked 10k miles on it. Had it since new.

Iām going to run the risk of resurrecting a ādeadā thread here, but I just had a thought⦠Weāve not mentioned ALIGNMENT regarding the steering wander problem. Alignment has nothing to do with how ātightā the steer wheel feels, but a bad alignment could definitely make the truck feel like itās...
And for those of you are probably going to ask where I mounted the black box: I took off the steel back plate and just used some zip ties to mount it under the steering wheel. Iām sure some of you more fab savvy than myself could easily come up with an even better solution. But mine was fast...
FWIW I literally just finished installing the Mopar trailer brake controller on my MT Mojave. It works great, all I had to do was get creative with where to mount the module. Thereās physically no way to mount it on the aluminum bracket where the instructions say to do so.
Geometry correction brackets do a different job than adjustable control arms. The relocation brackets change the angle of the lower control arm to keep them more parallel to the ground. The adjustable control arms can put caster back in to spec but they wonāt change the angle of the control arm...
OP Great info on the steering box!
FWIW it looks like youāve got a spacer on the top of your coil. I have a ā21 Mojave as well, I put the 2ā AEV spacer lift on mine, and it looks like yours has a spacer lift as well.
On the plus side, youāre probably all set to run 37s! But on the flip side...
