    Help! KJ Overheating

    No, just fill up the engine after removing the plug, reinstall, start engine and set heater dial to max heat, watch temp gauge and heat output. My engine temp allways is to the left of TDC no matter if I tow or normal daily driving, Good luck.

    2 problems with driver side door

    It could be that your upper hinge is worn, you might be able loosen the two bolts on the piller side, not too much and than smack the hinge forward. use some kind of flat blade tool and place that against the hinge next to the piller and strike with a heavy hammer, good luck.

    Help! KJ Overheating

    When you refilled the cooling did you remove the allen socket plug by the upper rad hose engine side? Let the engine cool and remove this plug and fill with coolant, your prob. could most likely be an air pocket.

    Frt. Drive Shaft

    After all that I have been through with this D-shaft I should have done it myself, then I would only have myself to blame. As far as a problem with the D-shaft if it is out of balance would this cause a problem with the boot? I don't feel any vibration when driving. On Mon. I will be speaking...

    Frt. Drive Shaft

    I do have the T-case skid. Took the KJ to the shop this AM, up on the hoist everything is good, all the mnts. etc. so they removed the shaft and will have it repaired again, will be back there tomorrow. Some how maybe the boot is twisting and causing it to rip?

    Frt. Drive Shaft

    As far as I know they are replacing the whole assy. The shop I am dealing with is sending the shaft out for rebuild. I know that the shaft only spins, no up or down movement, because of the design, frt. diff mntd. on a cradle. That is why I am so mad about this. Any help?

This will be...

    Frt. Drive Shaft

    OK the re-re-built frt. D-shaft is in and the odo is reset, will see how many miles I get from this one. Any bets? Have checked out CCI Driveline re. their upgraded D-shaft, they use dbl. U-joints at the T-case end, much stronger and does away with the rubber dust boot that fails.
