    Front passenger CV axle

    I got the intermediate shaft from Amazon, and that's were I've seen the Cardone CV shaft. I think the Duralast are reman's but like I said, I wouldn't put any faith in them.

    Front passenger CV axle

    I know a lot of you don't recommend using the Cardone Select 66-3352, but here in Mexico the only alternatives I've found are Duralast (which I have even less faith in) or Mopar from the stealership (they wanted US $400 just for the intermediate shaft). Can't get NAPA shafts here. What I...

    Proper way to fully drain, flush, and refill the coolant system?

    The reservoir drains at the same time from what I remember, or you can just take the hose off the bottom. I just use tap water through a hose pipe to flush, which I'm sure plenty of people will say is bad, but that's how I've always done it for thirty years on numerous vehicles without any...

    Proper way to fully drain, flush, and refill the coolant system?

    To completely drain the block (assuming you have the V6), there is a drain plug on both sides. To reach the one on the driver side you would need to remove the prop shaft between the transfer case and front diff. Then remove the starter motor. I can,t remember if you can reach the one on the...

    Wits End! Should I sell my KJ?

    After checking those uj's I would remove the forward driveshaft and see if the vibration stops. Also check whether the right hand front inner cv joint moves up and down a lot on the intermedaite shaft connecting it to the diff. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

    Jeep Wont Start. Need some help in a bad way

    If it were me, I would do what you said, take the battery home and charge it. If the battery is still in good condition it should easily get you 10 miles as long as you are not using the A/C and don't use the headlights. You will get an indication of the state of the battery when you charge it...

    Whirring sound from frontend

    I think the main cause of the driveshaft failing at the rear of the front prop shaft is the boot perishing. Probably more stressed from not being the standard bellow type. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

    DIY transmission flush?

    Yeah, they'd work better if they forgot everything they ever knew. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

    DIY transmission flush?

    The only time a quick learn is mentioned in the 02 and 03 manuals is after a transmission replacement/rebuild, valve body replacement/rebuild, solenoid pack replacement clutch plate and or seal replacement or the TCM is itself replaced. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

    How Often Do You Inspect The Butterfly?

    I cleaned mine once with throttle body cleaner and the TPS sensor packed up. Haven't cleaned it since, and that was about 10 years ago. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

    Whirring sound from frontend

    I read a review of the intermediate shaft on Amazon between the diff and cv shaft on the right hand side were they had a grinding noise. I think I have the same problem with a lot of play betwern the inner cv joint and intermediate shaft. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

    Definitive front CV and intermediate shaft testing

    I have a huge amount of play where the cv shaft meets the intermediate shaft and have had for a long time, even though I only have 75,000 miles. I get an intermittent groan at low speed which sounds to me like a wheel bearing, although I can feel zero lash in the bearing. Anyone experience...

    In Deep with Air Bag light

    I had been having intermittent ABS warnings (ABS light on) for a long time, and when I scanned, it came back with left hand sensor bad. So it could still be a bad sensor even if it sometimes passes it's self diagnosis at start up. The strange thing is that after I had the recall done with a new...

    Ball joints in JBA UCA's

    The boots on the Moogs that came with the UCA just touched the bottom of the arms, but the Raybestos and AC Delco boots are bonded to the case of the ball joint. The Moogs didn't have any play when I replaced them but the boots were in tatters, I'm sure it wouldn't have taken long for the water...

    Ball joints in JBA UCA's

    I fitted the OME kit from Jeep'n by Al in Oct 2010. 3 years and 8 months later, but only 28,400km (17,600 miles) I had to change them since the boots had perished. The originals were Moog with black rubber boots. I fitted Raybestos BJ's which have a blue boot which looked more durable. After...

    P0456

    Almost certainly the one coming off the carbon filter cannister in front of the rear diff. My second failure was the thicker of the two pipes that run along the left side of the chassis. There are small lengths of rubber tube connecting the plastic pipes approx below the drivers door hinge.

    transfer case plug replacement

    I know how difficult this problem can be. I once had a transaxle drain plug seized in an Alfa Romeo. After rounding out the hex hole, I welded a nut to it then snapped a 17mm spanner with my foot. Eventually I drilled a hole right through the plug and tried a screw extractor or easy out, but...

    Could my suspension clunk be the inner CV joint?

    Did you need a slide hammer to remove the shaft, as per the FSM?

    Could my suspension clunk be the inner CV joint?

    By lubrication, I just meant grease. Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk 2

    Could my suspension clunk be the inner CV joint?

    How many miles for that to wear out? Did it look like a lack of lubrication?
