Reuben's Car Got Brought Home On The Back Of A Truck! How Bad Is It? 

before the jeep bashing... old mate literally says 'its an aftermarket part that broke, not a jeep part' regearing like that increases the torque multiplication in the diff

run factory 4.56 gears if they hold up behind a 392 hemi they should hold up to ruebens panic revs at least more than once.

Don't just rely on jeep dealerships. You will be amazed what aftermarket specialists will have. Hammond 4wd in Capalaba, Double Black in Victoria. At least you get the answers you need from people who have been there done that.

Must be hard on the gear! People wheel these things in the states doing way tougher stuff and don't break them.

4.88's would be awesome with 37's 👌4.56's would also be a decent option. Z Automotive also make a locker sensor bypass, adapter to use factory locker switch with aftermarket air lockers and the Tazer plug in, which allows you to do all kinds of cool things. If you change ratios, also worth doing a transmission learning reset to speed it up learning the new shift points.

How to Break in a Ring and Pinion The suggested break-in procedure for a ring and pinion gear is as follows: - Drive 15 to 20 miles under normal driving conditions (no highway speeds), stop and let differential cool before proceeding, repeat this process 2-3 times - Avoid heavy accelerating during the break in process - Keep the vehicle under 60 MPH for the first 100 miles - Highway driving also requires proper break-in due to the higher heat temperatures produced, drive 15-20 minutes at max 65MPH, stop and let differential cool before proceeding, repeat this process 2-3 times - Driving on a new ring and pinion before the initial 500 mile oil change should be under normal driving conditions: no hard starts, racing, off-roading, towing, and should not be flat towed. - Change Gear Oil after the 500 mile break-in, this removes metal particles and phosphate coating from the gear set during the break-in period. - *Towing: After the 500 mile oil change, the first towing should be less than 15 miles, then let the differential cool before proceeding, Repeat this process 2-3 times

In the US. You can buy the locker sensor by it's self for just over $300.00 USD. The JT in the states have 2 different transfer cases. The standard part time case and the option full time case. The full time case has a clutch pack in it and been known to overheat and slip. One of the differences between the 2 transfer cases is. The full time has CV joints on the front axle shafts. The part time case has u joints instead.

Good thing is, mopar makes a diff locker sensor delete harness to bypass the sensor inside the diff on the locker to engage it. You can buy it right from mopar and hook it up to an outfiter switch and have it be way more reliable. Also swaybar bypass can be made easy to just lock and unlock. I do agree, all the electronics are awesome, and a pain at the same time. Nothing that can’t be taken care of tho. Cheers boys 🤙🏻

I used Yukon 4.88 gears in my jeep and they never failed

You certainly are good at breaking your cars Ruben!!!😂😂😂 cheers for another great episode mate 👍

Great to see ya teaching the kids Ruben

Calling for the time was still a thing in the early 90s too, im only 36 definitely remember dialing 😅 and noone had a fit over gluten and everyone ate 🍖 🥓

well...supercharge the donk, put on balloon tyres....any wonder the bits in the middle failed! Just like a Ruben thing to do....awesome 🙂

1194 used to be the number you dialled for the time.....

Time for an Antirock sway bar for the front. Maybe that Supercharger is too much torque for the Dana 44HD axle. Most when they do an engine upgrade, they had to go to the Dana 60 axles, or for Hellcat and Demon one had to go Dana 60 front, Dana 80 rear with air lockers. If you change the front sway bar, you should add the Teraflex extended travel rear swaybar to get that swaybar up and out of harms way. And you get 16 inches of extra articulation on the rear axle. Also time to add one ton or 2 ton steering components, like Steer Smart. Most put Metal Cloak rear trackbar to make room underneath to store the 37 inch spare tire. A 2020 Gladiator Rubicon owner. You need skid plates, newest here in North America are the Next Venture Motor Sports, Aluminum belly skid plates with the UHMW plastic slider savers. If cost is a problem ASFIR 4x4 or Artec Industries, makes an economical belly aluminum skid plates. You need to heat breakin those differential gears for the first 500 miles, or you will get those diffs destroyed. You should call your Gladiator "The Destroyer"!

I have 4.56 gears with 37s and it’s fine.

awesome Reuben, what i say to myself is , you got to pay to play, just run the card through🤙

Justin from Patriots at the same issue with his red Jeep when he first got it which was whenever the gearbox and transfer case got hot it went into limp mode

I run 4.56 minutes in my jeep I found it. It’s the best compromise between strength and drivability. And

DStrac axle from Superior Engineering if run 37s even up to 40.

I think the number for getting the time was 1194 in Victoria

Great Ep Guys . 1149 for the time,

His cars are always coming home on the back of a truck! Can he drive a 4WD?

I remember calling the number for time.

Yeah 4.88's but 4.56's would be probably better choice. Front & Rear Dana SD60's direct from Dana USA would be Reuben proof plus the massive One Ton truck brakes & free wheeling 8stud hubs ❤🎉😂

I am now understanding why it is that guys in the US simply throw away the 44's and put Dana 60's into these tonka trucks. Clearly the Gladiator is too heavy for 44's + big tyres+ supercharger. I think i will leave my jeep run without the supercharger as that amount of power is clearly too much for the stock Rubicon drivetrain when wheeling out in the bush. I need to know im coming home, not worrying about whether or not im going to be getting a tow truck.

Toyota only offer 4.30 diff gear on Tundra for towing purpose. They probably know something that we don't about going larger in size.

Reuben needs a series 1 landrover that will pull him up

1194

If you dont locktite the bolts on the ring gear they’ll come loose and lunch the diff again… 👍

Get an OX locker like Do it in the dirt

You should be driving the patrol y62

Rueben try and get an old 1418 Benz just take it back to stock and then try and break it, maybe the only vehicle that you haven’t broken.

If a normal person drove it instead of a mug lair then probs no breakages

Don't buy parts from jeep.. plenty of other companies in Aus selling them

The phone number to find out the time is 1194. And if you wanted on your phone at home for the landline to see who was the last phone call that you missed was ☆10#

Ruben please get rid of the elocker and air locker and go trutrac I did the change and I have never had another problem

At least your mechanic and you are open to learning about the Jeeps. Do your research on US YT channels, workshops etc. They know how to modify and maintain these Jeeps "right". US stores are easy to deal with too, most will freight within 7days to Aust. And won't give you the old "buy the whole axle or transfer case" reply. You just can't work on these with the old "Landcruiser or Patrol" approach. You can get a Tazer or other plug in devices to adjust the factory computer for diff ratios and tyre sizes and a host of other things.

I think a lot of all the damage is because the 37s

Im didn’t realise Iveco amalgamate with Jeep.. parts and repairs sounds oddly similar. Hmm 🤔 Cheeky devils they are. Guess that’s where the money is…-15k for a T/C in the 16’ Iveco Daily 4x4…and the lube is “extra”

They might be capable off-road but I would never buy a Jeep for the fact that you can't buy just the parts you need, you have to buy complete assemblies and their pricing here is ridiculous.. Heard exactly this from Jeep owners. Just straight out revenue raising. Great to see you getting your children involved Reuben.

ARB the dam thing

Dial 1194. Lol

How bad is it... it's a Jeep bro 😂

Jeep life mate, get used to it.😂

reuben has no mechanical sympathy lol

Phone 1194

You called Jeep!? 😂😂😂 Amatuers call Jeep. Jump online mate… I could any of those parts shipped this week 😂

Reuben stop farting around cobber and portal the dog

JEEP, just empty every pocket.

Creepy bloke constantly having arm round daughter

"We've got a Jeep that's broken" Yeah, you've got a Jeep. It's a given that it's broken... it doesn't need to be said.

50years ago Jeeps were Awesome. Today they are absolute Junk. Hands Down Worst built 4x4. They trade on their name, quality is out the window. Having said that, Rubin breaks everything 🤦‍♂️🤣

Yep, never buy a jeep
