Good video. Thank you. Im changing mine now. When i removed the cover, a large washer fell out. Not the magnet. Its larger than that. Where would this go?
Thank you needing to change mine. Was wondering what I was getting myself into first. This is a Really detailed video besides when you popped the case cover off. Figure if anything the nut holding the shaft allows the chain to come right off the other gear!
When the case pops off with a little tap of a hammer and a small pry from a screwdriver, the gear assembly will fall off with it. The chain is super easy to remove then. Just remember what side of the gear assembly faces the front and what side faces the rear and it will all slide back together with ease.
2:35 - if you use 2 of the 4 bolts you removed from the outside of the flange, there are 2 bolt holes on the INSIDE of that flange. Thread them in and tighten them down evenly on each side and it forces the union apart. No need to bang on anything. Very simple design feature that makes the job a lot easier.
Thanks buddy. I just ordered a new chain going to do this myself. My case clicks so bad upon accelerating and it’s funny because it’s around the same time you posted this video! LOL pos jeep
It took me quite a while to figure out it was my case. It was deceiving because it sounded like a cv axle and front differential. I finally found someone to help me powerbrake it so I could pinpoint the problem. I’m glad this video was useful to you. Good luck.
🆘 i did the same thing today. At 6:52 in your video when u lift up case and takk about gear. There is a washer. (Not the magnet ). Does that go on first with gear. Could use a lil help. Thanks 🤠 i pilled out case and it ways laying in there when i took it apart. I had a lil trouble wiggling chain off.
It’s been a while since I did this. I don’t remember a washer there, but as you see the gear assembly when I lift the cover, the washer isn’t on the gear and didn’t fall out. That means it was still stuck in the cover. Otherwise, I would’ve showed how to put it back. Sorry I’m late to reply to you.
Im having the same clanking issue on takeoff with a stretched chain on a 2013 grand Cherokee that is all wheel drive. Do you think your video would apply to it also? Its a v6 Cherokee Laredo 4x4. Thanks
Thanks…mine doesn’t have a tag or Id on it but as far as I can tell, it’s the MP2010 because mine doesn’t have the option to put in 2 or 4 wheel drive manually, it’s all done in the transfer case electronically
while reading the install for this chain...it says "There is a blue link on one side of the chain. This blue link MUST be installed facing upward" not sure if that means having the links facing out so you can see them and not facing away to where you cant see them or if it means upwards above the sprockets. Not sure why the blue links have to be in a certain place
Never as right as you can. All bolts do have torque specs but I’ve been turning wrenches for so long, that I seldom use a torque wrench unless it’s super important. Just make sure all bolts are snug and not having any worries about breaking bolts either.
Sorry for my late reply. As Jeep drivetrain is made by Mercedes, I used the black Mercedes gasket maker that I already had on hand, but any black silicone will do the job. I can’t believe I forgot to include that in the video.
The Mopar black stuff is what you are supposed to use - Permatex Ultra Grey would also be a great choice (it's what I used and the case hasn't leaked yet so I guess that's a good thing). Like he does in the video - you don't hardly need any of it. Very thin coating, and even with that you'll get some squeeze out. I let mine cure with the fill plug out for 2 days just to make sure it was fully cured on the inside.
Best video out there. Great music in the background also. Thanks 😊
Good video. Thank you. Im changing mine now. When i removed the cover, a large washer fell out. Not the magnet. Its larger than that. Where would this go?
Watch the video at 6:49. You will see where that washer goes as I lift up the cover from the table.
Good job bro I'm doing mine tomorrow my shaft just spins I think my chain broke
I hope it went well and easy enough.

Excellent Video!!! Thank You so much! It's EXACTLY what I was looking for! I have to change out my chain very soon...
@@jamesgreen3080 it’s my pleasure. I hope it answered all your questions.

Perfect thx.
You're welcome!
First 👍
We’re u getting shudder at hwy speeds ?
No shudder

It's probably not the same transfer case but that likely is the problem
Slightly different case, but same way to do it. Bolts and chain and driveline removal is basic between cases. It will be quite similar.

installed facing upward" not sure if that means having the links facing out so you can see them and not facing away to where you cant see them or if it means upwards above the sprockets. Not sure why the blue links have to be in a certain place
@@Snakebyte70 I assume that means the blue link must be facing the cover that you pull off.
How much would that fix it job cost if you went to a mechanic versus how much it cost you?
$6-700 at a shop to have it done because of parts cost being sold at triple the purchase price.
Did you have to torque bolts. Or just tight as u can without snapping
Never as right as you can. All bolts do have torque specs but I’ve been turning wrenches for so long, that I seldom use a torque wrench unless it’s super important. Just make sure all bolts are snug and not having any worries about breaking bolts either.
Torque spec for the cover bolts is 27Nm / 20 ft-lbs.
You will have the place where you got the chain
I ordered the chain from eBay
What sealant did you use for the gasket?

Would be better without the music
