Man this saved my ass. 0 Degrees outside, dark, and my door won't lock closed. So I grab a screw driver and try to work the locking mechanism to see if it's jammed. Well then it pops to the locked position and won't move. Great so now my door is stuck open and the lock won't unlock. Pulled the...

Well, I used a ball peen hammer to re-shape the hole a little bit, cleaned up the contact areas with some sandpaper and applied dialectic grease. Then I took a new nut and bolt with a couple of heavy washers and torqued it down. The heavy washers allowed me to really torque it down and helped...

I just bought a cheap ground wire from Walmart. More than adequate for the job. The bolt on mine ended up twisting through the firewall leaving a big hole in it. Easy to fix, but that's what ended up happening with no way around it.

I've been searching the forums to decide one what radiator I should get. I'd really like the spend less than $200 on a 2 row replacement. I don't need anything better than stock for what I do. It seems like a lot of the replacements have people coming back to say that the radiator failed after...

If you take a pair of vice grips and a rag you can clamp onto one of the shafts without doing any damage and then you can see how much you'll have to turn the wheel before the pitman arm starts to move.

I bought the reman from autozone a few years ago when all three of the bolts that held it to the frame snapped off flush inside my old steering box. I needed the jeep the next morning for work so I was forced to go and buy one. The first box had really loose steering and eventually started...

It's fine, checked it out, pulled all the bolts to clean them and applied blue loctite. The noise is worse in the video than it actually is.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMSdz726ylQ Here is my Jeep, I filmed this a couple years ago. Hasn't gotten better, hasn't gotten any worse. It does not do it in the winter though, just during the hotter months.

Apparently the only way to get good measurements is to measure the actual parts themselves(go figure). Using the flats on the differential and transmission pan will not always give you accurate results. These are my actual angles. Transfer case out-put shaft: 3.5* Pinion angle: 5.5* So yes...

I don't have a 6 degree shim for the pinion angle. I have not added any shims or anything to the rear, the lift was achieved by added full leaf packs. I will have to pull the drive shaft to get a degree reading from the actual yoke instead of using the flat spots on the back of the differential.

I apologize for the lack of information I provided. I realize you guys must be sick of answering the same questions over and over so I try to keep it brief. I did get some vibes from the lift, during acceleration, but I am getting some bad noises and vibes at 65mph+. The tires are balanced and...

lower the angle on the rear output shaft. I did a really quick job of measuring the angle of the output shaft and the rear pinion, I will double check it and read a lot more so I can fully grasp the concept. The output shaft was 1* and the rear pinion was at 6*. So how much does say a 1"...

I'd be interested to see if someone that runs ethanol free gas gets better mpg. IMO that has a lot to do with the 1-2mpg I randomly lost 4 years ago. I've used Lucas fuel injector cleaner/upper cylinder lubricant for a while now, I usually buy a bottle a couple times a year. Doesn't ever seem...

I should've recorded the noise when my dad and I had it up. I might put the rear end on jackstands again and get it running just to record it for you guys. Some vibes, and a lot of noise coming from the T-case. I can't imagine it being normal. I also noticed the output shaft and/or slip yoke has...

I have some news to report, I think it may be the transfer case. Got the rear tires off the ground and secured the axle with jackstands then had my girlfriend run it up to speed. Definitely sounds like everything is coming from within the transfer case, sounds like the chain is scraping badly...

Thanks for the posts, lots to look at. Should the slip yoke have a little bit of movement on the output shaft?

I've got some minor vibes when accelerating, nothing that has made me want to drop the T-case. I'm talking a 2" lift on 30's with a 2000. Been driving on the highway a lot more lately and realize I have a problem. At 70mph plus I have some really loud noises coming from what sounds like the...

I replaced my power steering pump 3 years ago. The first one whined pretty bad and would occasionally loose power steering when parking. I replaced it, and the replacement is the exact same. It may have gotten a little better over the years, but I've learned to live with it.

Surely someone else has had the same issue?

Just got done replacing my blower motor with the Four Seasons 75712. It whines on settings 1 and 2, and makes a clicking noise(sounds like it's rubbing something) on settings 3 and 4. Not sure if I got a bad one, or if I am missing something.
