    Yukon axle versus stock

    Has anyone tried adapting the slinger to the reduced diameter axle? The slinger will snap snuggly on the threads of a gallon water jug. I am going to cut one off to try the inside diameter on the axle.

    Where is this leak coming from?

    Where is this leak coming from?

    What about removing the fan assembly? Mine is not responding to big wrench and hammer. Can you pull the pump and shroud with fan attached and then deal with it ?

    Coolant overflow bottle replacement options

    My 06 plastic bottle seem to leak. I would like to find a good replacement. Dorman is 65-90 bucks for the quart size plastic. Does anyone have a better alternative.

    Yukon axle versus stock

    So if the new inner axle is not built up enough on the joint end to support the slinger just leave the slinger off?

    Yukon axle versus stock

    Is a Yukon front axle built up toward the ujoint to hold the slinger that covers the axle entrance to the housing? Is there a better seal available?

    Blown front axle u-joint

    I pulled the jeep back to Gunnison on a trailer and tore it down. I pulled it to Gunnison on a trailer and pulled the axle. I ordered what i thought was an mammoth axle kit for 2006 Rubicon. When I slipped the oil slinger on, i realized the a axle was smaller diameter under that slinger and it...
