Copy that Dave. I spent some $ at harbor freight on some impact extensions and used my impact driver last night. After a few choice words, got them to break loose. Also, just FYI, the bolts on my (1996) exhaust are 15mm. Not sure why they are different. Thanks again for all the help!

Thanks for the tutorial Dave. I'm working on this project now but cannot access the 2 inside bolts for manifold to Y pipe. What tool did you use?

Copy that. Thanks 410. I'll try that.

I was thinking a putty that would harden, not adhesive. something that would mold to the actuators shaft to fit in the blend door socket with no adhesion.

Thanks for the explanation. What if I stuff the shaft with some 2 part epoxy putty then set the actuator in place and let it form? Please let me know your opinion. Appreciated.

Sorry 410. I'm not fully understanding your info. Would you have a photo to explain your fix? What should the axle shaft look like?

Weird one: Wasn't getting any heat through the vents, no matter what setting it was on. Confirmed coolant valve was switching over, so ruled that out. Took out the blender motor/servo/actuator and it seems to be rotating just fine. Flipped the blender flap with my fingers a few times and it...

Thanks for the suggestions fellas. I was hoping for something that I could dig into but those sound beyond my current abilities. Especially since it is the wife's daily.

Thanks for the info Fix, I can understand one clunk when shifting but this is a rhythmic clunking, as in the clunk is synchronous with the wheel speed. Luckily we haven't truly needed AWD yet but would like all systems to be working for when we will need it.

1996 4.0L auto limited AWD, 86k miles. Wife's daily so this thing is driven gently. We have noticed a speed matching rhythmic clunking when climbing a hill in snow (in AWD AUTO). It's fine when the roads are grippy. 2wd is fine. I'm guessing something with the transfer case or front...

So it was the door lock actuator. It was rusted and would not allow movement of the lock mechanism. Here is what you should have (first image YW7A-54218A42-BB) and the box shows part number to get. After you remove the door panel, remove the one wire clip on the window rail in rear area of...

First off, thanks to all that take the time to help people on this site. The world needs more of you. My issue: 1996 Limited Edition 4 door. Driver door will not lock, even with the key in the tumbler. The door lock indicator rod will not budge. When I press the lock button on door or...
