Carnage pics...
The wife was running around in the snow and she pulled into Safeway here and she said it "pop'd" and made a loud grinding as she slowed to a stop.
Luckily, I had 1 spare left. I am now using my last one. Crap, that means I need to find more Jeeps.
It even broke the fuel filter and the fuel was just pouring out when I got to it. We lost about a half a tank in the time it took me to get to it.
Heres what I found.
She's all back together now...  |

What caused it to much slack in the chain or what? This is scary I think at tax time I will replace the chain in mine. |

Not sure what exactly caused it, my guess is that she turned the wheel and goosed it a little [fuel injection, it just takes a little ] and it found traction and the chain slacked enough to try to jump???
OH well, its done for now.
That was my first granaded case.... |

I'm probably gonna have to have a WOT. I'd like to get the Cherk up and running for some spring wheeling. I'm still having problems getting fuel. Gotta replace the pump and check the line to see if their clogged. Drop the tranny and transfer case install the spare tranny.
You shoulda gave me a call I woulda come over and helped ya. Did you already get another TC in the GW?
