  11. Yes for sure bad angle due to lift is the number one reason for driveshaft failure or fatigue. Drive shaft failure was a known issue in the Jeep Wrangler JK models (not so much on JL) and those owners upgraded to heavy-duty aftermarket shafts. Terraflex, Rough Country, Hurricane and Revolution are some brands u can search on the same line if you need to spend 6k. They might cost u less.
  12. Welcome Ben, Less used/abused Xterra would be better in the long run. If you can't find a clean one, then Pajero 3.8 would do good with a little extra love and care. Rem to exclude 2009 - 2012 models Pajero that have gear upshifting (known issue). @Frederic correct the year range, if I am wrong, please.
  13. Start with your AC condenser cleaning, if its choked or never cleaned with pressure air or water, it will behave the same. If that is clean, the next bet would be the compressor switch failing to turn on/off the compressor at the right temperature. Has anyone worked recently on a car or AC component, that might help to backtrack the issue more efficiently?
  14. Leaking Engine Crank seal is a known issue of Jeep Wrangler JL and Jeeps know it very well along with the whole world. Hope you aren't paying for every seal change...! The cost of a seal is negligible, but the labor to install an engine crank seal is huge. While in warranty, look for an aftermarket heavy-duty seal that might help solve this issue permanently.
  15. @Deepak Eswar The Manage tab is only for lead and support. I have moved you to the RSVP before the drive gets full.
