So how exactly did the gears get destroyed? Did the bearing seize or blew apart? I only ask because my jeep is at the shop getting the front pinion bearing replaced. It was making noise after 5.13's were installed and I'm still using the same gears.

[QUOTE=tkob1060;988497] so thats why everyone in TC has a gun [QUOTE]
I think you mean TX, and yes... it makes you so mad you are ready to shoot someone. I have to admit the whole "everyone in Texas has a gun" thing is not 100% true... but I would say it is over 90% lol. We have a new law here called the "castle law" that made it legal to carry a concealed gun in the Jeep without a permit. It also authorizes the use of deadly force for everything from carjacking to them running off with your stereo. You can even shoot and kill a robber leaving your neighbors house with a sack of goodies. You can give him a one way ticket to judgment day as long as that neighbor says he asked you to keep an eye on his property. Just think how the law protects your own stuff.
Anyway, back to gears... Everytime I see what they did to you nkotb i mean tkob it gets me pissed off. Why that shop did not just say "We cannot do this job, it is over our heads" I cannot grasp. How could anyone think you can just leave parts out??? crazy. I really hope mine are set up right.

After having a 3 way call with Yukon, shop and myself the shop went ahead and covered the parts and work. The preload was set to 12 inch lbs but should be between 6-9 in lbs for used bearings. Hopefully I will have my jeep back in a couple of days. Thanks everyone for the comments.
This shop came hightly recommended by everyone in town. Even when I call other shops they said he was the best in town for diff work.
