Decided to drop my driver side exhaust manifold off at the machine shop so they could make it perfectly flush for me at a fraction of the cost of a new one. Also picked up a new gasket at autozone along with some engine cleaning supplies. The "exhaust manifold bolt kit" that they had in stock looked nothing like the bolts that I took out. Is this going to be something I find at the dealership only?

Found out that my radiator was shot and caused my jeep 4.0 to overheat. ON the inside, there was a section that also houses the transmission fluid and the barrier between coolant and transfluid had been opened.

Our mechanic replaced the radiator, did a flush of the coolant twice, and flushed about 14 qt's of trans fluid.

I gave it a 300 mile drive yesterday to drop my sister off at college and the trans drives mych better since the flush. My mechanic is going to flush the trans 1 more time to be sure he got everything out

Anyone have this happen?

Did you buy offbrand? Dealership wanted like $200 bucks for that. Found those strongarms ones on amazon for like $17 a pop.
i think strongarm is pretty much the standard now

I got all 6 shock supports from advanced auto and I think they ranged from 15-20 each. Work great so far.

No ****. And I ordered rear shock bushings sleeves from KOR last week, paid as much in shipping as the part cost, and I'm still waiting on the part a week later. I think I'm going to start a "KOR is a bunch of d-bags" thread. Let em see what jeepers think of their deals and shipping prices/times. Hell, priority mail would be here by now and cost $9 insured. Instead, I got to pay $17 FedEx ground that takes a week on am $18 part that fits in a ziploc. Ok, just needed to get that out
Kolak sells his own bushing sleeves and if I recall correctly they are cheaper than KOR's. He used to sell KOR's but not anymore. Probably due to cost reasons. If its not too late you can email him for a quote and cancel your order with KOR. I have had kolaks since I installed aftermarket shocks and have never had clunks. Just another idea.

I ordered them at a local parts store. Offbrand, can't remember the name right now. I thought about ordering strongarms, but when I add shipping costs + customs + tax... it becomes a lot more than I'm willing to pay. Plus sometimes it's really hard to find a seller that will ship to EU (I'm from Slovenia). I generally search ebay (mostly german) and amazon, but like I said... shipping is a *****. I'll propably wait 'till I need enough things to fill 1/2 of a container, then maybe it'll be cost efficient :brickwall
