When it broke last summer I replaced the hose right away. The problem that just happened I'm hoping its inside the drum. Easy fix. Wishful thinking aye

Not a question but another possible solution to those who dont have plugged drains, leaky windshields, bad blower motor seals, or blown heater cores. A stud that the body wiring harness attaches to may leak. (alot)
You first need to remove the main connector and two of the upper connectors and move the antenna wire out of the way to get a good view of it. It is directly above the fuse block.

I assume that's a vinyl graphic that they stuck on. I very much doubt that it's painted on.

Installed a new valve cover gasket and changed the oil and filter. Now she's making a god awful squeeking noise that won't go away. Any suggestions? Checked the belf and is pretty tight.

My 97 rides like a tank in the rear. And my driver seat foam is beyond worn out. Makes my back hurt after driving it back and forth a couple miles a day to work. Need some direction here ....spend money on good suspension style seats or try and get the jeep riding softer? Also anyone know of a place to get NEW seat foam? 97 5.5 " lift. Bought this way. Appears to have aftermarket leaf shackles not sure bout springs. Fox emulsion2.0 shocks

After studying a few u-joint write ups I'm finally trying to get my front axel u-joint replaced. I can't for the life of me get the dang axel nut to break free. I don't have an impact wrench so I'm using a breaker bar on my socket wrench. I've pbb'd it like crazy. There's no way to do it with the wheel still on the ground due to the center cap not being big enough. Any advice?

I've read it can be replaced without removing the axel, but I can't get the c-clips to budge either. Should I let everything soak in pbb and try again in a day or so?

Did this same thing. Soak good overnight, then the next day go soak it again, come back in 5mins and do it again. Do this one
More time and with a breaker bar and some elbow grease it WILL come loose!
