is there something obstructing it from making a tight seal?
it could be coming from just around the fitting and not the fitting itself

no i thoroughly cleaned it before putting it back together and the fluid leaks right out the fitting and drips down the tranny line since it comes out at a downward angle to clear the oil pan. I'd like to do something more permanent than jb weld since I'm gonna drop the cross-member so i can easily get to it but it is my dd'er and cant be down longer than today

check radiator, t-stat, coolant level and rad cap
fan not kicking on sounds like a wiring issue
what do you mean runs hot? how hot?

chop saw?
there are 3 bolts (4 if you have tow hooks or just the mounts for them)
that you can see if you remove the end caps or pull on the plastic fender lining a little, I only did this once and I only really helped was kind of a PIA

Hey guys got a question. My jeep is grinding in the back. I've been playing in water recently, after that I started hearing grinding in the back. So I had my outer bearings and seals replaced. I still hear grinding. What do you guys think it is?

pinion bearing?
my buddys d44 was grinding and he just had the whole thing redone
have you checked the brakes out?
