Hello all, I haven't been posting much in my build thread recently due to some issues I've been having with my 2010 JK.

While driving around one day I began hearing a grinding noise that sounded like it was coming from the front axle. I am still under warranty, so I took it into Allen Samuels Jeep here in Tyler.

What we thought was only a driveshaft issue, turned into a much bigger one. While pulling off the differential covers, it was found that the differentials, transmission, transfer case, all of the full of water, and mud. The water/mud mixture had been ran with the oil in the differentials for so long that it caused it to turn into a thick sludge, which in turn destroyed everything. The gears, ring and pinion, all in pieces.

Needless to say, the 2010 JK that I've had for a month, was completely sank by one of the previous owners, and I purchased a lemon.

I am currently working with the dealership that I brought it from. They are being friendly and wanting to make things right, but I am sure they will try and find a way to prove that it was something that I did.

Everything will have to be replaced. The entire front axle, the transmission, the transfer cases and drivelines, and most likely the rear differential.

Hopefully it's something that can be fixed. This is the last sight of my Jeep, headed off on the trailer for investigation.

Holy hell that sucks!! Hope they make it right.

Agreed! I hope it's fixable. It's gonna cost the dealership an arm and a leg to fix it so they may just try and put me in another jeep. Not my first choice by any means.

Holy Shit!!

Sorry about your luck. The dealer should replace if they sold it to you this way. Glad they're working with you.

Napalm

I agree. Myself and my entire family are repeat customers with them and I think they want to keep it that way.

Sorry to see that, that is the problem buying a used jeep sometimes tho, never really know it's past, but I can't belive a dealership could have not seen any of this before putting on their lot!! Hope they make it right and you can enjoy your JK like it should be!

Hate to hear that especially after just getting back in a jeep. Btw I was just over your direction traded in my 2012 for a 2014 the dealers here couldn't touch the deal they gave me and better customer service.

What a bummer. Goodluck.

Napalm

What dealer did you trade in too?

Napalm

The dealership that I purchased the Jeep from has taken fault and they are going to replace everything that needs to be fixed.

Unsure of the costs but it's looking to be around 5 grand.
