Here is my Go Fund Me. Thank you Postman.
I dont know? I cant get to your campaign, probably just me not knowing what I am doing.
Thanks Russ. I'm out of options, sitting in the middle of the Florida Panhandle in a small RV park in a small town called Cottonwood. I have no idea what to do next.
Dang, Kevin, that just stinks. Wish I still had my MH, you could have gotten it.
Well crap. The new drive shaft was ready yesterday, so I went and picked it up. 490.00! OUCH. But that isn't the bad part. I went to replace the oil pan gasket and vacuum modulator on the TH400 transmission today...and discovered that the transmission CASE is cracked! Not repairable! We are dead in the water, running out of money, and I just can't see a way out now.
Still no leaks from the Jeep differential! I must have fixed it correctly...lol! The drive shaft shop said all the parts came in, so they are making the shafts today. The U-Joints are supposed to be delivered to them tomorrow, so more than likely I can pick it up tomorrow or Saturday. It rained all day today, so I will fix the transmission leak tomorrow.
We love coming to visit you Jimco and Lydia! It is the highlight of our travels! Miss you guys and can't wait to see you guys this summer!
Hey Kevin. Nice talking to you on the phone. Please keep us up to date on your repairs. And hope to see you guys in person here next year.
So the saga continues. After running all over to 4 different auto parts stores to get all the parts to fix the transmission leak (when did Dextron transmission fluid get so expensive? It cost me 40 bucks for 6 quarts!), I stopped at a gas station near the RV park, and the rear differential on the Jeep was leaking! What the heck! I determined that it was leaking from the pinion shaft seal, and since I never changed one of those before, and wasn't sure if the pinion bearings and races were any good, I went to the local auto parts store and bought a new Ford 8.8 10 bolt gasket, the oil seal, the bearings and races, and 6 quarts of gear oil. I then drove back to the RV park, and fired up YouTube to learn how to replace the seal and bearings. It was a MUCH easier job than I thought it was going to be...just unbolt the driveshaft yoke from the 8.8 pinion output plate, unbolt the pinion nut, use a puller to get the yoke plate off the pinion shaft, remove the old seal, check the bearing and race, replace if necessary, install the new seal, and top off the gear oil. I didn't have to open the transfer case at all.
Prayers to you and your family Keven.I hope all this leads to a better 2019 and you have a Merry Christmas where ever you are.
