Have you noticed any problems or noises since the work? If I'd been working the job I wouldn't have automatically suspected a problem with the front diff. I'm looking forward to hearing what has happened since you had the rear diff work done. If you haven't had any problems I wouldn't fret worrying when the front end will go out.

yes but you know alot of times customers don't know when maintence is due and
actually welcome the fact that some dealers keep trac of it regardless if they get it done there or not "James C.

Oh, and did I mention the rear pinions were all torn up in the
overhauled rear from just 120 days ago and had to be redone also again just two days after the front was rebuilt. So here we have 3 differential reworks now in 120 days and I might be looking at a fourth on the front again for a concern that was mentioned. Be aware, these are JEEP DEALERS doing the repairs !

True...but you wouldn't want to pay a master mechanic rate for the time spent
"checking fluids" that typically would be done by a more junior level person at half the cost.
