Starting the rebuild of the transmission on my wife's Tahoe, I found the reaction sun shell hub broken, exactly what I thought the problem was before I tore the transmission down. Complete rebuild seals, papers, steels, and frictions total cost......... 180.00 New reaction sun shell 65.00 I hope to have it back together this afternoon if the heat doesnt drive me out of the shop......

I had the water pump on my jeep completely fail, which of course spit the serpentine out on the road without my knowing, and simultaneously tore a sizable chunk out of the radiator and fan shroud. And then the fan got wedged between the radiator and the engine block which bent the fan and made it a larger pain to get it out. The only reason I knew something was wrong was when I stopped at the store to find coolant erupting out from underneath the jeep. Managed to limp it home. That was a pricey fix
How I didn't hear the fan tearing my engine compartment up I have no idea. That stupid Jeep will never die though :banana:
You must have the bullet proof 4.0 in that jeep. I recently had a 4x4 cherokee that my son destroyed... loved it and miss it. It had tons of power and was a blast to drive. I also had a roommate when i lived in Hawaii and I got to drive his Jeep Wrangler everywhere, what a blast that was.

WOW!!! That's a crazy job ahead of you and one i don't think i could do! I did impress myself a couple weeks ago with replacing the front hub/wheel bearing assembly on my Expedition! Rides like a dream now....
lol Yeah I enjoy doing automatic transmissions.... I am glad I got the training from GM, Im a cheapskate lol and I know what some of those rebuild places do. In the pictures below you can see the broken hub on the reaction sun shell and then the new one.... what it is supposed to look like.... Broken hub = no reverse and no shift from 1-2.....

Actually it's a 5.2 V8. Which is also a bulletproof engine. Would really like to find a 1998 Grand Cherokee 5.9L Unicorn one day...
Needed the V8 incase I got a trailer I wanted to tow..

The worst is when the turboencabulator begins to fail.
