help
Well I don't know where to start first. I had a sh%$$& day. I crushed my exhaust pipe. I had to drive it to get to a place I could cut it. Did I hurt anything????? I drove as slow as I could.
Second. My passenger side cv came lose from the diff. Not sure what is up. I slipped it back in but, what is the cause.
Then I blew a belt and while I was under looking at the cv I saw coolent leaking. Still trying to find it. Please some one help im very sad

Whoa stop take a breathe! The exhuast pipe is not hurt. Do you mean the cv boot? I'm sure others will chime in. Try to sit back and relax for awhile. I feel your pain.

if you were in a very rough section while offroading, it is very possible that you could have jsut overextended the cv and that now that its back in, nothing is hurt... you might want to check your diff fluid level however, not with all cvs, but with some, depending on their construction/manufacturer, they might leak fluid if the cv is popped out..... the cv popping out isnt a normal thing, but can be justified as you were wheeling in a manner not normal to what the rig usually or was intended to see....

Not sure with the diff. I have yet to take mine apart(will do soon). But about your exhaust. If you don't have any emmisions laws in CO, then do what I did. Cut your exhaust parallel to the ground, right at the body line. It will keep your exhaust pipe out of sight and safe from rocks.

Which side did it pop out from? If it popped from the side that goes into the wheel and hub assembly you could have popped this little butterfly washer deal off that holds the axle in place. If that is the case then you will need to take apart your hub and put it back on. Hope i helped.

I can assure you that there is supposed to be something that holds the CV axle in the diff. It sounds like something is broken, but the nice thing is, at least your 4wd works so it can't be too bad.
