Ok, so I ordered my boots today. I went with some Beck/Arnley ones from Kragen. I should get them next week, maybe the three of us could get together next weekend. I will probly start them on a friday or saturday, I cant take a sunday off cause I am now the only Tech on the shift.

So today I finally got off me bumm and decided to do my boots. I found Billy's write up on the replacement and had at it.
Well come to find out that the boots I ordered are too big. About 1/4 inch too big on the large side of the outer. I was not happy to say the least. Since they are an order item I couldnt get it done today. I wound just pulling the CV's out all together, because the driver outer is now torn.

Damn, that sucks. So are you going to reorder?

I am gonna order the ones for the inner since it seems to fit both the outer and the inner and is a bit longer (maybe will last longer as a result). While I was down there I saw all the loose heat shield parts and found a little rats nest on top of the transfer case. Also my transfer case is a little leaky. I was not a happy camper on saturday....

I need to change my trans and transfer case juice really soon...
My ABS light is on and off now.
I have so much catching up to do after last week.

Well I will be ordering the Machatech's I suppose cause the boots I ordered from Kragen were all wrong. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Well I hopped on the freeway to see if I heard that damn noise at high speed with the axles out. I got to speed, turned off the radio, listening as I let off the gas and all I heard was tires and nothing else.
So basically my axles are bad as well as the boots. A coworker has recommended a mechanic the works mostly on axles and drivelines. I suppose I should call him and see what he has to say.
I am in the process of selling my motorcycle, if that goes through I guess I will spend my money on this problem.
Life sucks....

Hmmm, I didn't know you had a bike. I wonder if Ascinder could shed some light on your problem...
That does suck.

Yeah after monday I think I might not have one anymore. I talked with
Tom4bren and he had the same issue and his turned out to be bad CV's. Did you get my PM about the roof rails?
Super VXer
Yup, you should put your extra ones on eBay.I don't really need them since mine are holding up!
Thanks though, Bart

So after all my terrible transmission woes ($3800 later) I went to get the oil changed and behold my drivers side outside cv boot was leaking all over the place. I have not heard any noise or anything like that, and the shop I was at said they could take it out send the axle out to be rebuilt and put it back in the same day for $480. I do not have a lift so does this sound reasonable, or should I try the CV boot replacement on my own?
Super VXer
If there is no noise,all you probably need is a boot. I noticed mine was torn one day,but no noise, put on a new boot, everything is fine.
