Hi,
Great vid, thanks for posting.
Jeep UK said our GC was a Quada trac 2 but it had the ELSD which totally confused me. Our diff is exactly the same as the one in the vid and now I know what the clutch pack motor looks like I can double check that as well.
Your vid couldn't have been more helpful.
👌👍
I just did all three driveline fluids (not trans) on my Trailhawk. Pointers on the skid plates: They are HEAVY. The bolts on one end are made to be loosened enough to let the plate slide off. So you loosen them, then remove the opposing bolts, then slide the plate off. And be prepared to handle a 25 lb plate. They're for real.
I noticed the rear plate actually has a big ballast bolted to it. Not sure why.
Thank you, it was very helpful. I've watched other videos but nobody explained so well as you did. I appreciated it. Jeep uses the same type of fluid of a 5.7 v8 hemi.
Bravo, Brian!
Nice camera work too.
This video Is extremely helpful and direct. thanks!

Well & Clearly Documented. After the rear axle, I took on the Front axle, & Middle Crank Case on my WK2 JGC EcoDiesel & my wife's 2008 Compass ( All 3, 1st time) in the same fashion. The 2015 JGC has clocked around 65K kms (Over 40k miles) & ironically the Compass around 85k kms (53k miles) . Thought it was time for both more due to time length of owning both vehicles over according to mileage. That includes your showhow in your other 2 videos on the JGC. Perfect & very happy with the end result. That includes after the test drive in the summer conditions here in Australia at present. No leaks or problems the morning after settling overnight. Worked a GEM 💎 💎 👍👍.
Bet it’s rusted out by now. I left Wisconsin as soon as I could. Tired of rotting my vehicles out . Great video 👍🏻. Tip for the pennies pinching folks . Only use the mopar fluid
A technique to push all the old bottom oil out; put one maybe two ounces of oil in the fill plug. The cold thicker new oil goes to the bottom and the warm old oil now flows out. Works best when the old differential oil is a bit warm.
Ok I spoke too soon. He does that technique. 👍
I have a 2013 overland Hemi I’m about to change the diff fluid in. Does the front diff take this same specific fluid as well?
Should the force mother be pulled and have the screen cleaned like a haldex?
This is a fantastic video! Exactly what I've been looking for. So, is there no alternative to using the over priced Mopar lube? Can you provide lube you to use for the front diff. Is thread locker/sealer needed on the plugs?
Great video. 1 question: where did you get the torque rate for those drain plugs? I actually don't have the service manual and didnt find any info for it anywhere.
So did the fluid change fix the driveability issue with the rear diff?
Yes it has been fixed ever since.
Are all 2018 Cherokee Trailhawks with the Gen 2 4x4 modes this type of differential?
Yes, all Trailhawks of this generation (which started in the 2017 model year) use this same eLSD rear differential. Summits also come with the eLSD as standard equipment. You can also get it on other trims such as the Overland if you option it with the offroad package.
На сколько мне известно заливается масло 75w140 плюс специальная присадка мопар
Hey Brian... you're going to shoot me after reading this. ; ) I have a Ford F-150 2008 Pickup. I followed your advice on the timing chain issues with the Triton engines. That worked out great... much appreciate those videos. I hate to say it, but I bought this truck used when it had 188,000 miles on it. I'm not sure if the previous owner kept up on fluid changes, but since buying the truck, I haven't been the best at keeping the fluids changed. The truck now has 298,000 miles on it, and I'm leary about changing any fluids. What is your recommendation for a truck with 298.000 miles on and not keeping up on fluid changes. Since getting the truck, I did the timing chain replacement, new radiator, water pump, new high pressure oil pump replacement you recommended, and general maintenance. Do you have a video showing what recommendations you suggest for guys like me neglecting the fluids? Appreciate your input. I've passed your weblink on to many techs and friends. Great job as always on the videos...
Brian I am curious of this as well
I have a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 3.6 L gasoline engine... NOT a 4x4...does it have ELSD...just trying to figure out the correct differential fluid to use 75W-85 or 75W-90 and do I need friction modifier...thank you so much....trying to change my differential and transmission fluids myself..thanks.
Probably not but you really need to get the part number off the diff to make sure.
Thanks..will have to take a look and figure it out..@@georgelin8498
No eLSD on a non-4wd Grand Cherokee. You have the standard differential.
@@georgelin8498 Thank you..
@@Japplesnap Thank you..
I have a 2020 JGC Trailhawk and the fluid i ordered on Amazon is 75W-85 Synthetic but it did not say ELSD on the bottle.
The owner's manual recommended 75W85 with friction modifier. Mopar sells a 4 oz bottle of Limited Slip Additive.
I'm wondering if that 4 oz bottle will work with the gear oil that I purchased or if I should use the gear oil that you recommended in the description
Did you end up using the friction modifier?
@@TheFunProphet yes I did end up using the bottle of friction modifier
What about the front diff on this model? Does it take this same fluid?
Nope the front doesn’t take the same fluid because this specific fluid has the friction modifier in it. Front diff doesn’t have clutches in it so you don’t need friction modifier.
Hi
Mine took a quart
