Hi all Im working on doing a heater flush and maybe raditor also but befor I do any cutting I got very confused as to what hoses were supposed to be hot and what were not plus in all the pics and vids I've seen the don't have this block thing that i got. So what Im wondering is if someone can tell me where to feel and cut/remove the hose. The one with the braiding got hot but none of the otheres didi or felt like they had pressure.
Anyways, your pictures suck, but i'll be the hose running out of the top of the thermostat housing at the front of the engine, back to the firewall/heater core that you want to splice into. Should be about 1" diameter.

I have a rhythmic front end shake/vibration at about 45mph and 55-60mph. At those speeds, regardless of throttle, braking, or turning I get the front end shake for about 5 seconds, stops for about 3, then back for 5 seconds, etc. Not a death wobble though. At any other speed, it is not there. There is a chance the shake is harder on turns, like when getting off the expressway and slowing down through a wide turn.
Any idea what this could be? I was thinking a ujoint, but haven't found any information about symptoms showing up in bursts at certain speeds.
Thanks!

does it die when you come to stop, or slow down to make a turn?

Yup, if you want to be able to use your 4wd they need to match or you'll explode your transfer case or worse.

My headlights are pretty much junk as it is, but what would cause my passenger side light to get dimmer when I turn the high beams on? My poor xj looks like it gets kicked in the nuts every time I flash someone, just wincing in pain lol. Sucks going down the country roads at night, I just hope the deer cross left to right.
