"mama, he ain't mixin' that corn up in the taters!"

I like my ovaries like I like my corn... creamed!

Nothing new under the sun my friend, all cars and trucks can have the same problems, it's basically the same design. Poor casting or just lack of maintenance, pretty sure mine is the latter.

:)... there was a series of heads for the I6 in the 2000 and 2001 Cherokees and Wranglers that had serious issues with the head cracking,

Its a shame all those stupid switches and sensors were often the downfall of those otherwise fantastic 4.0L engines.

Checked at lunch today and my coolant was low so I added a couple of bottles of water and drove towards home tonight with no problems. Stopped at AutoZone and topped the coolant off.

I'm getting excess moisture out of the tail pipe so I may not be out of the woods yet.

im betting you just have a leak and havent gotten it totally full...

Going to post my own question here rather than a new thread since it looks like OP's got answered.

I have a 2013 JKR. My front differential keeps leaking. I have had the dealer and a 3rd party re-seal it several times. This is a 4x4 used for crawling and I do have some armor on my diffs for protection, but what do I need to do to keep the diff oil in the actual diff?

Cool. Rubicon model?
Regardless, where is your diff leaking from?

Yes its a Rubicon. And the leak is coming from the seam of the diff cover at the bottom. I can take a picture tonight if needed.

Are they just using RTV or an actual gasket?

If just RTV then the cover could be shifting and then leaking. You might try something like http://www.quadratec.com/products/52416_101.htm

Yes. You need to post pictures of your Rubicon in the Gear Head topic, Pictures forum.
Otherwise, penguinz already has your problem covered. Only other thing I could think of is if the bolts are shaking loose, then some Stage 8 fasteners might be called for.

just saw the 2015 Renegade Trailhawk....not a bad looking vehicle...better looking than the new Cherokee, IMO.

Just posted pics in Gear Head thread. But for purposes of this convo here is a pic where you can kind of see the glide plate over the differential that I have.

yes use one of these gaskets. AND make sure no oil is on the sealing surface. stick a rag in the bottom of the diff and soak up everything you can.


guarantee there was always fluid at the bottom on the sealing surface when they re sealed it and that will make them leak every time.
