Was it this one for $182.99...

The problem seems to have started after the first shop "fixed " your clicking front end. You don't mention a CV axle being replaced, or at least an R&R of the original one. This seems strange to me. From your pics, the tie rod ends are different manufactures, and the left is all beat up by...

Ask and you shall receive. After no more than 1 hour after posting the above pics, I was contacted and told the warranty is going to cover my broken shock. Looks like Slee took care of business. And Bilstien too.

Broke my right rear last week. Got them from Slee in the package set up. Trying to get a replacement through warranty. So far, no movement yet. We'll see...

Load test the battery. This cold weather is going to send marginal batteries to the grave.

No alignment needed. The only time an alignment would be needed is if you replaced the shocks on a Macpherson strut front end. At least that is the only time that comes to mind.

Engine mounts are pretty easy to diagnose as a problem. Have a friend sit in the car and move the transmission from reverse to drive. You stand out of the way on the side of the car with the hood open, and watch the engine. IF the engine rocks back and forth excessively in the engine bay, then...

I know I am late to the thread here, but I wanted to add two things. With fuel injected engines, if the test fuel pressure is even just one psi below the spec, the fuel pump should be changed. The idea is that if a fuel pump at idle only is barely able to keep up with the minimal flow demand...

From the FAQ section in the 80 series forum. All you need to know about diff lockers with pictures. Just insert "100 series" every time you see the words "80 series". http://www.lcool.org/technical/diffs/diffs.html

That's loud enough that you can have a friend listen outside the car and tell you if it originates from the front or back. I would first guess that it could be a u-joint. Easy enough to lube all 4 and see if it goes away. Second guess is that a brake pad is done and that is the wear indicator...

Man, I'm sorry this is happening to you. I have been down this path with my 80 also. I too have an extra T case on my shelf in the garage along with rear axles and such. I still have a vibration around 60 mph but have learned to live with it. It can be maddening to keep looking and not find...

Did you have the old alternator spin tested to make sure it was indeed fried? Why not take the new one and have it spin tested and see if it is putting out the 14+ volts under load? If it is, the problem isn't the alternator. If it is fried, it would seem to be a warrenty issue, unless I am...

You have a huge difference in tread depth between the main tread and the shoulder of the tire. Don't know if it was tire pressure, or another problem, but that tire has been worn out for a while.

:censor:

The books by this guy are pretty good. It use to be that he had three separate ones for Colorado depending on where you want to play, but I only see one now. He has one specifically for Moab. Do a trail and see what you think of his ratings and how they fit your expectations, then go from...
