Thank you Sir. As CJ owners, it’s our responsibility to keep them running and on the road. Still trying to get mine assembled and looking forward to cruising around in it like the old days. I’ve owned this Jeep for 34 years. Thanks…. Mike
I'm very "detailed" orientated so I appreciated seeing you download the PDF file and made notes. You provided a very detailed and well organized tear down video, thanks.
I appreciate you following along. Two weeks ago, I published an update of replacing the Front Driver's Side floor pan. Anyway... Cheers to you and Happy New Year.... Mike
Work... Life... It is amazing the little things that can distract you!!! Especially on long projects. Thanks for hanging in there and following along... Mike
You do absolutely Excellent Videos - so glad I found your channel! have a very low mileage (40K) Dana 300 that leaks. Do you think I can just replace all the seals without a complete teardown? Thanks
Without seeing it, I would say that it depends on where the leak is located. The best case it is the lower pan and that would just be removing it and adding new gasket and sealant. If it is the Idler Shaft (o-ring)….. that’s the worst case as I can’t think of anything other than a complete tear down as the loose bearing will fall out. If it is on either of the shafts, I believe that is also an easy remove/seal/replace. Glad you found the channel. Hope this helps. Mike
Hey Mike - great to see another video from ya! Happy New Year! I just finished rebuilding a short tail Dana 300 for my swap as well and used that kit. The only problem I encountered was an incorrect bearing as there are minor differences between the long tail and short tail output shaft. You may need to order another bearing, as I did. (The correct bearing was Timken 25877 and I believe the race was correct, but I ordered a new one anyways - Timken 25821). Best of luck! Also, let me know what bits and pieces of the shifter assembly you need - I may already have them and can run them over to ya.
Thank you for the heads up on the possible bearing differences on Long/Short tail. I will make sure to always check the original versus the replacement. In the final video of this rebuild, I will highlight what I have for the shifter assembly. I believe it is just some washers and a nut that I am missing, but I need to look into it more. Cheers and Happy New Year!!!!!! Mike
Hey Mike, excellent work as always!!!! Does anyone offer a GM 40-tooth speed gear for the output shaft? That would make your 5.3 PCM install very easy. Keep up all the hard work and the videos you post will be a resource for many people in the future.
@@bobbygeorge2183 I reused the original Speedo gear. I believe replacements for the short tail housing units are hard to come by. They are a little different.
Another great video! Thank you for taking us along your project journey. Can’t tell you how much I appreciate the investment you’ve made in this project. I’ll be happily awaiting your next upload.
Well done, thank you sir...despite what you may see on the road there are still a bunch of us CJ guys around.

Most of the leaking seems to be the front output rear bearing cap and the shift levers. I'll rewatch your series to see if I can do it. Thank you!

Thank you Bob! Not sure on the Speed Gear. Hoping these videos will provide some insight to others that would like to do this as well. Cheers! Mike
Finally!! Happy 2020
Cheers and Happy 2020 to you as well... Mike!
Was that the speedometer gear you pulled out ? I thought the speedometer gear was in the transmission not the T-case
Yes that was the speedo gear. It is located in the TCase due to the possible gearing changes that it can introduce.
@@UCanDoIt2Mike did you regear or put the same one back in?
@@bobbygeorge2183 I reused the original Speedo gear. I believe replacements for the short tail housing units are hard to come by. They are a little different.
I had a '84 CJ7 I bought new. The Dana 300 was the ONLY piece of the jeep I never had to work on. BULLETPROOF
Sweet! That's good to know. Mike

This makes me smile! Thank you very much for the compliment! Cheers Mike!
