gear oil stench!

(1/2) > >>

beatmasterdave:
hi all!
my truck is not feeling well again! :(  after salisbury plains, theres been mega squeeking and grinding underneath,  to the rear. even rolling in nutral its iffy. sometimes it squeeks really loud and when giving it some right foot, you can feel it not getting all of the power. theres no puddles or any signs of leaking hubs, but it stinks of gear oil in the back.
does anyone know what could of happened and how to fix it?
i reckon some crud got in there through worn seals or the oil is very low.
it has been in water and mud quite a bit though. grrrrr, if its not one thing, its another! :x

needbeer:
it could be one of your propsharfts one of the ujs could of gone

AbyssDJ:
squealing will be a prop shaft UJ (or UJ's). gear oil smell? god knows... check the rear axle

beatmasterdave:
ive been trying to shake them, but they are ok. and this gear oil smell is new.  if i top up the gear oil, what kind do i need and where does it go? i'm going to see if i can find any trace of muck geting in, then somehow i think it needs to be flushed through.

my diff lock never worked untill my mechanic fixed it last week. maybe through fixing it, it might of made it iffy somehow. haha i have no idea what im on about :lol:  :oops:  8)

extreme90:
gear oil smell  :?
rear axle ?...check the breather pipe is clear  :wink:

oils... front rear diffs (axle) ep90
main box.. ATF
transferbox...ep90

the muck usualy gets in either through the hub seals....which then would emit a stink of ep90  :wink:  and then eat away at the bearings as they would be running in crud...giving a horrable crunching sound and general the landy just wouldnt feel right on the road and the breaks would go all spongey

grinding and crunching isnt always a uj, tell tail sign of a u/j is a worse than normal clunk when pulling off and changing gear
