Extender Rally

[David Brady]

A while back on Dupree's Wanderlodge forum there was a discussion

about broken ring gears on late mode 8V92 equipped Wanderlodges.

The fundamental issue seemed to be that the rearend is too weak

for the 8V92's torque... Something about ring gears breaking.

Leroy I'm with you on what was the cause? wonder if the driveline
is

out of balance, and it shook the bolts loose or they were never

torqued or casteled or wire tied. sounds like vibration worked the

bolts loose and one of the harden bolts sheered off with the found

torque lag??????????? Or was it an issue with wrong ride hight and


the u joint geomentry??????? would be nice to know to keep it from


happening again or have the mechanice drill and wiretie the ring

gear if possible?????
