When my factory muffler started rusting through I took a chance and cheaped out with a Cherry Bomb Turbo muffler followed by a 12" Glasspack. I was not disappointed. Sounds like what I would consider a factory performance exhaust, no drone during normal driving (flooring it produces some drone...

Ok, so I've been out of the game for over a year. My trans died (maybe) and I needed new wheels asap. So, in the planning of major work to be done on my Infiniti, I'm looking at getting the KJ running again. So for starters I'm dropping in here to figure out the best course of action. So, it all...

does it shift ******* the 3-4 shift, or was it just the 1 time on the 4-3 shift? Also, how does it behave on the 1-2 and 2-1 shifts? Mine randomly started shifting ******* 1-2 and 3-4 shifts and then about 3 days later gave me a bunch more neutral gears. If you're going to drop the pan and valve...

currently working a 5.3L LS for mine, easier now that the factory trans died and I have a different vehicle to drive. Won't have to worry about SFA since it's RWD. Won't be able to do much work on it due to minimal garage space, though i should have the engine rebuild done by spring, possibly...

Very odd, typically the problem I hear is that it's blowing cold while idle and warm to hot while driving, which indicates low coolant. I'd have to look at a proper system diagram to know for sure, but I'm going to guess that it's a thermostat problem.

192219 miles. The engine swap details are in my profile signature. Was originally planning to get everything built up and ready to install before getting another vehicle to drive while performing the work. This changes the plans a little bit, easier on the build aspect, tougher on the budget.

So last night it finally happened, the inevitable instance that is the death of a 42RLE. Was about 15 miles from the house, heading up north for opening weekend of gun deer season here in Wisconsin. I was turning onto the last road before the interstate and on the 1-2 shift she had enough...

Yep, as LibertyTC said, PCV valve. I started getting the milky crap on my cap a while back. My drives to work take about an hour for 32 miles, engine gets plenty warm, so I replaced the PCV valve and about 6k later it hasn't returned.

Mine always rotated with the engine. It's got a noticeable speed difference between "engaged" and "disengaged". I'm not sure if they fail in the engaged or disengaged position, so that may be part of the problem. I removed mine after my water pump went out since it damaged all the blades and I...

Yep, that ball joint on the top craps out and it starts clunking around. Mine does it at the 2-3 shift only right now, and only under light acceleration. If I'm on the gas good it doesn't make any noise at all. Part of my suspension work this winter will be replacing the whole boomerang and ball...

Has the water pump failed yet? Mine failed around 108k, luckily I was close to home. Last time you changed spark plug? Oil change. Any CEL's pop up recently? Regular maintenance received? How do the lower ball joints look up front?

Part-out was my thoughts as well. I mean, I paid $200 just for a rear axle assembly for my '05.

Wait......What? I don't have a CRD, so maybe that's why this went completely over my head.

It felt like the whole vehicle rocked a little bit, there didn't seem to be a change in speed or driveline load, just kinda felt like the right front went over a bump. Haven't swapped it in yet, currently rebuilding a full rear axle assembly. Once complete it will get swapped in along with...

This, for all the fluids (oil, transfer case, trans, diffs)
