    Help! A/C compressor has 5 miles to live!!

    Thanks for the belt size, that is a big help. (Duralast.. NAPA and discount auto have that brand? When you took off the compressor, they say "warning, high pressure system" Do I need to take any precautions, or just remove bolts and hoses slowly..

    Water under passenger side floor mat

    Thanks guys...I will get some wire when I get home. I did not want to damage anything by sticking a wire through that drain. It seems to me it should have an elbow on it, (or maybe it does and mine is gone) that would direct condensation down...

    Water under passenger side floor mat

    (No, it is not rain, puddles or anything from the outside) Should I assume this is from the A/C condesation line? It is dripping properly to the outside, but about 50% or so is inside. Is it possible that driving at highway speeds for over an hour is pushing the water inside the jeep? Anyway to...

    Help...changing front differential seal

    I did have the correct seal. I did not replace the nut, I did the rotation method (counting how many rotations until nut comes off) and used lock-tite when re-installing the nut. I do not have an inch/pound torque wrench. Everything is tight, but it does have a slow leak. I am hoping it will stop.

    Help...changing front differential seal

    Well, I did finally get it loose with the help of a large pipe wrench which held the flange in place.. Only problem is I installed the new seal and it seams to still be leaking, very frustrating, but it may just be some differentential fluid that was leaking from the removal. I will find out...

    Help...changing front differential seal

    Anyone do this? I am trying to remove the lock nut holding on the pinion shaft, but it is not going so well. Is this a reverse thread or just really tight. Any ideas on how to loosen it? Thanks

    Oh no.. A Leak.. But from what??

    Changing front differential seal I did a bit of research on this and figured out what needs to get done. 1st question, should I get a seal from the dealer or save $15 and get on line. There is also 2 ways to do this, you can keep the lock nut and mark the correct location of nut and count...

    Oh no.. A Leak.. But from what??

    Thanks for the quick reply... What seal is it.. Is it a fairly simple to repair. I am knowledgable in the garage, but I would not change out a transmission or anything like that!
