    How To: Change front driveshaft / change a driveshaft head

    Success. Replacing the old front driveshaft with the torn TC boot and loud howl is done and there's no noise in 4wd mode. I did use the new allen head bolts and using a torque wrench, hoping they would not round off inside.

    How To: Change front driveshaft / change a driveshaft head

    I have 180k miles on mine. I do drive sometimes in 4wd off road, but since the front driveshaft spins whenever the front wheels spin even in 2wd, I suspect that front shaft joint ages regardless of 2wd/4wd miles and since it is exposed to undercarriage objects, the boot can be damaged easily.

I did replace the transfer case fluid a few months ago but the noise continued. How can you tell whether the transfer...

    How To: Change front driveshaft / change a driveshaft head

    Great thread. Thanks all. I am getting a very loud grinding noise when moving 4wd even at slow speeds and in a straight line. It sure seems like the commonly reported issue in the rear CV joint of the front drive shaft so I am going to change it, probably the whole thing not just a CV kit. I...

    I saw the image of the "bad" front driveshaft head/joint in the first post. What does a good one look like? Where does the boot in the image at https://www.driveshaftparts.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=978&search=me807 go?

    HOW TO: Tow Stuff (Hitches, Harnesses and Brakes)

    You can much more easily see the pedals and wiring underneath the dash by swinging down and removing the plastic piece under the steering wheel. It has two pin connectors at the top and hinges at the bottom. https://ibb.co/3z9Jnd0 After popping it out from the top, it swings down, then you can...

    HOW TO: Tow Stuff (Hitches, Harnesses and Brakes)

    Thanks. I see a grommet/plug just below and to the left (from inside) of a large wire bundle going through the firewall behind and above the hood release latch. This is at the far left close to the side/kick panel. From the engine bay, that plug is below and to the right of that large bundle...
