I just bought a 14 JKUR from the original owner 2 weeks ago and dropped it off this morning to get 5.13 gears installed. I got some troubling news from the shop, they found a lot of water in both diffs, more than they have ever seen. It does have extended diff breathers front/rear and the axle tubes were clean and free of any water, mud, grit, sand, etc..
The driver's side rear axle seal was leaking a bit, but not enough to let that much water in. It was front/rear also.
This is where it gets more weird, there was signs of a leak on the cross member under the trans, and it looks like a very watery oil coming out of the T-case, maybe out of the linkage. I've never heard of that and the shop hasn't seen that either. Having them drian the T-case tomorrow to verify that.
This is worrysome to me, has anyone seen/experienced anything like it?
They said the axle shafts and lockers looked fine, and it's getting new pinions and gears in the diffs, so as long as the water doesn't return I'm not to worried about those... But the T-case has me pretty worried if there is in fact water in it.
