While I was under my Commander working on replacing my oxygen sensors, I noticed grease leaking around the seal that connects the front drive shaft to the transfer case. After wiping up the grease, sure enough there is a small tear in the boot.
1. Would this be the Input Shaft Seal - Mopar (5143714AA)?
2. Any chance its covered by the lime time power train warranty?
It's definitely grease but its not the front of the driveshaft. I can actually feel a small tear in the rubber right before it enters the transfer case.
Let me clarify, the QT-1 transfer case (NV140) uses ATF+4 (transmission fluid). So if it is the transfer case shaft seal that is leaking, 5143714AA is the correct part.
From what he said, he had to have the whole driveshaft replaced as they dont just have a separate seal. Its not ATF but black grease. The attached picture is from his post but identical problem.
I'd say the lifetime drivetrain warranty should cover it, talk to the dealer. I had the front Diff bushings and water pump covered under the warranty. It covers a lot of things.
I certainly hope so. It covered my water pump as well. Is there documentation on what exactly is covered anywhere. I'll have to look through my owner's manual and related paperwork.
I found what is covered:

I've only heard of one member who apparently bought his XK from a dealership a number of years ago, where he was apparently given the opportunity to purchase a Chrysler lifetime warranty;
