That's one heavy truck. That leaves you what, like 375 lbs of payload?
Or the Joint will not free from the shaft splines and you don't have a puller or a vice!!!!
Based on my experience it's just as heavy as my 200 was with a similar setup. And further research shows 300's and 70's in Australia, loaded up with a full touring spec are about the same weight. Luckily we don't have to do a GVM upgrade (because we legally can't) in the Grenadier to still make it all happen. For me, it's simply my fridge, camping gear, and wife left to pack up. Should be good to go under GVWR still.
Look forward to hearing/seeing more from the CTI event!
It looks more like your transfer case output oil seal has gone. The cv boot is very dry and not greasy at all.
I think the back cover of the joint could have failed. There are two little holes that will sling grease if that happens. Possibly a clip failure. The weep holes look wet inside.
Man, you can almost feel how thin that boot material is just by looking at it. Good pic!!!
@Matt P why was your post removed from here and from the Facebook group? Please tell me that Ineos didn’t ask you to remove it. You are a high profile own with substantial influence. It’s one thing if you decided you didn’t want to share but it’s very different if you were asked to remove it.
My take off front drive shaft is still in the box where the dealership put it. I've been working all weekend and I will check tomorrow to see the condition of the CV boot
And most of the replies to Matts post have been removed too. Only way I can see my post is to go into my account and my content, this reveals the replies to Matts post but not the original post by Matt.
Yes I'll be replacing it myself. I want to learn how before doing remote travel anyway so kind of fortuitous that its now rather than latter. I'll do some direction if I can.
to check for a faulty prop shaft CV joint. . This should not be happening on any modern vehicle made for purpose !
Yes, clearly a monumental failure by Ineos that possibly could end the Grenadier.what a sad situation to be in, when owners feel the need to get under their vehicle before and after any long drive
You’ve hit the nail on the head. It’s a fantastic vehicle with one major weak point.
