i've never really torn down a ring and pinion before,but,i may end up learning how..
--your not giving me a lot of hope for my new aqusition,with yours going "clank"..
did you fry the bottom-crank/rods,or was it electrical?
was yours "all wheel drive"?,are all laredo's?..
-i was thinking about the "all time 4wd,and would trading out the transferr case to a shift in 4wd case-like out of a cherokee- a good idea? would it fit?
my motor sounds good,other than a fresh set of plugs and wires..
were you running that 5w-stuff in it?..they should ban that stuff..someone might use it,and think it lubricates!5w is too thin! 3-in1 oil is 10 weight! DO NOT USE 5W-NOTHING!!..not in anything you want to keep running!!
..guess i'll spend the winter researching some stuff,get in contact with some rock crawler peoples,and make a decesion..here's hoping it makes it through!

does anyone know if you can interchange an 86 seat track for power seats to the same in an 88?

I know this isnt much of an answer, but I bet you can call any junk yard (auto wrecking) and they would know or be able to tell you straight away

Did you call the dealer and inquire if the part number was the same? Too simple or what?

go to "autozone.com"
set up a account-enter your kind of car,and they have a online manual-with exploded views,this will give you a idea of what comes apart,and where to look for the screws ..
"heater treater?..maybe heater core?..anyway,the online manual is there..maybe that'l help..

sounds like you snapped a cv/u joint..have ut towed,to avoid further damage-after you've done your phone work..look for someone who specialises in jeep service,as there are special tools for 4 wheel drive..
if you shop for the cheapest guy,he may not do all the little extras that might save you more work later on..
  you also don't want the mecanic who'se trying to bring everything back to new--it's NOT new..it's got 180k on it!..but-with proper service,they can last to 500k
but you don't do that by snapping a axle,and driving it home-just becausre it's still moving--get to the side of the road,orthe next exit,anbd STOP..when things are grinding metal to metal,those are expensive parts grinding up..usually more than the wrecker/tow truck would've cost you..and-with any 4 wheel drive-when calling a wrecker-let them know it's 4w drive,as you can't drag a jeep with any of thec wheels on the grou nd..you need a rollback or a trailer..
