Hi I have dewalt xrp drill. It's chuck still spins when trigger is released(off position). It slows down eventually but it's not as it used to be (was stopping immedi) What broke and needs replacing?

SOURCE: Dewalt 18V XRP Clutch Slipping

it very economical to repair the drill. replace the transmission.

SOURCE: Dewalt XRP Drill Chuck will not come off

you need a special jig to remove the chuck on this kind of drill

SOURCE: Dewalt Drill DC728. Chuck came out of drill body

If you find that the end of the screw inside the chuck is actually broke then you have a gear problem inside your drill. This is actually a very common problem. Sometimes people push too hard on their drills and the gears inside wear out and break. This prevent the motor from wearing out, but, the gears have to be replaced.
If it is the gears and not the chuck. you broke the minimium of the front gear or gears inside your drill. YOU CANNNOT repair gears. they need to be replaced. you may be able to find some off brand gears to work but, you run the risk that they are not as strong as your original ones, or may not be exactly grooved correctly.
so, if replacing your chuck does not work. find replacement gears. IF you cannot find the gears from the manufacturer see about replacing your drill.
If the chuck is still good, keep it. If you buy the same model, keep your old drill for replacement parts, ie, switch, armature, cord, etc.
hope this helps somewhat.

SOURCE: Chuck on drill rotates very slow with full charged battery

it could but do you notice a burning smell? It sounds like the motor is bad. What is the condition of the battery can you try another one to make sure not a battery problem. Let me know and if you go to Dewaltservicenet.com you can look at a breakdown for this tool. Putting either one in is not that hard just make sure of the wiring. the switch is polarity sensitive and miswiring it would burn it up. If I have helped would you please rate this response accordingly and thank you.

SOURCE: How to remove a chuck from a DeWalt hand drill

Open chuck all the way (like for a large drill bit). There should be a set screw at the bottom (where you would put a drill bit). Don't turn too hard - it may be a left handed screw (I don't remember if it is a lefty for sure but try gently each way then with a bit more force each way until it moves).

Good luck.
