I wouldn't take it too far from home. Me neither. Makes a guy wonder how that .22 cartridge got in there though. Charlie

Where's your sense of adventure. You didn't say anything about it making any noises. So evidently it was running good for you. Dump some new oil in it and go on down the road. Now for real, I would tear it down and repair it before doing any serious hauling or driving. Those pieces shouldn't be there. Russ

Have to wonder if isn't a bearing out. Check the play in it. Maybe a previous owner replaced the whole 3rd member and missed chunks when cleaned it out.

Have to wonder if isn't a bearing out. Check the play in it. Maybe a previous owner replaced the whole 3rd member and missed chunks when cleaned it out. To OP , the pinion gear is the gear attached to the yoke for the rearwards most U-joint on the driveshaft and directly meshed to the rear ring gear. ( just clarifying ) , if that is the case I would be looking for proper gear 'lash' aka correct gear to gear engagement. A good , old school transmission/differential mechanic can determine if you are in proper sync with gear engagement. A bad bearing can cause this and setting up the differential properly with spacers/shims to correct problems is a difficult diagnosis for the bulk of mechanics. It is a specialty field with very few with the knowledge to properly 'set-up' a differential. Personally , I have had more problems with the spider gears in a differential. These are located towards the outside of the gear carrier/housing. They directly mesh with the splines on each axle going to both rear wheels. How do I know this ? Too many burnouts and doing too much drifting/powersliding/donuts............

The rear diffs on a Jeep (ours is a 2003) the patina would wear on the spider gears causing the fluid to look like metalflake.

I would for sure be replacing gears and bearings and checking lash and end play. That's a time bomb right there. Yep!

Might be cheaper to get the same geared ratio in a complete rear axle and swap the whole unit out might be cheaper and quicker in the end no parts or Backlash to mess with you just unbolt the shackle plates, shocks and other stuff and bolt a good rear end back on.
The junkyard might be your friend here and it might be the simplest way to do it cheap if your not mechanical minded.

Start shopping around for a rear end. They are easy to rebuild if you have the tools & dial indicator to set the back lash.
