Is that all, LOL, I don't even bother to unbolt the housing any more, I just pop the inner CVs and pull the allen heads holding the right side cover on and pull the ring gear assembly out, but I did adjust clearance on previous removals. Now that my radiator is up where the spare tire was (sort of) and the spare tire is hanging off the rear of the engine cover bed, it's even easier to do. Jeff

I had my output shaft break also, here is a link to all the photos and information I gathered when I replace the shaft, there is some good info here, download it and unzip it. Jeff https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByQAhs0e-yF9a3gwenpyc2IxZWM/view?usp=sharing

I'm still asking questions to see what i can do also.

$499, a bit much for me, even if it works, but after a few of the people I talked to, I think it will.

Wiggle, unplug and replug every connector, sounds like something may be loose, even thing that are plugged properly don't make good connection after some time and need to be separated and rejoined to clean the contact surface and make good connection. This includes relays and fuses. As you pull relays, look at the blades to see if there is any discoloring or signs of heat and look at the socket where the relay plugs into.

I found the wire I was looking for, it is brought out just past the first connector after leaving the computer, starts as white/green strip and then it is green after the first connector. I hooked my oscilloscope to it and started the engine and all I could see was some voltage spikes, I assume these are telling the OBDII reader it can request data from the ECU. So other than finding where to tie in a plug so I can plug in a reader, I didn't get any closer to finding what was causing my fault light to be on. Here's some photo I took while finding the wire, I added text to each photo.

I've been all over the area behind the seat (and every where else) and haven't seen anything that looks like a plug. Can you post a photo? My ECU is a Siemens VDO, I wonder if they can tell me the codes.

has anyone found the Vehicle OBD II Connector (front view) or installed or used one on their Trooper? Thanks Jeff https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OBD-II_PIDs#Modes

Lately I've noticed a loss of antifreeze and when it was bad enough, I would run hot, and I noticed a dark build up on the same side as the filler. I removed thee radiator and sprayed it with soapy water to check for leaks and found all of tubes in the top 4 or 5 inches of the driver's side leaking at the header. I had recently read that this could be fixed with J B Weld epoxy,http://www.stockcarracing.com/techarticles/scrp_0411_stock_car_radiator_repair/viewall.html you build a damn with some tape and then mix up your epoxy and thin it with denatured alcohol and pour it on the fins and allow it to run in between the fins and then use a vacuum to try suck the thinned epoxy into where the leak is. I prefer the long setting epoxy http://www.utvboard.com/gallery/album/144-radiator-repair/ I am planning to see if I can move the spare tire from on top to the back and then put the radiator up on top, out of the dirt. Also had to rebuild the fan shroud because the mounting holes were cracking up.

there is a DLA valve, page 109, that lets air past the butter fly, sound like it failed, there is also a idle adjustment screw, page 49, find it, use it,

what year? I think I still have my original sender of 5 or 6 reed switches, Or you could build one like mine. It has 14 reed switches and 16 LEDs, the 1st & 16th are always on 2 thru 4 are red, nearly empty, 5 thru 7 are yellow, less than half, and the last 6 are green, good to go. The brass tube is in the center of the tank and sealed so the circuit board & reed switches are dry. Down side is you have 15 wires running from gauge to sender.

What are you driving? What's the fuel gauge for?

Last time I replaced the Hiem joints and other joints, I applied a heavy coat of grease to all and then wrapped some polyurethane foam around the joint and secured that with some cheap electrical tape to keep the grease in and the water, mud and dirt out. Seems to be working pretty good.

When I first started making an electrical power assist for my Trooper, I started with the drive wheel from a power wheels toy for kids and 2 relays, full power. That worked fairly well for a while, much better than no assist, then Lenny said, make the power out proportional to the torque in. I rejected that idea for a while, but became absorbed with the idea and I have made many models and designs and trials. I'm very happy with the controller I'm using right now and it can be built by someone with electronics knowledge. It is set to be very sensitive so it needs less input torque than most, it also has the remnants of an earlier trial set up that didn't get removed, so I added a switch that allows me to choose between sensitive and not so sensitive. The power unit is an older 170watt unit from http://www.superatv.com/UNIVERSAL-Kits-C1039.aspx, but has been up powered with a motor from Banebots, which can handle more power than I can safely feed to it with out burning up parts. So if you have a power unit and no controller, maybe you can build one or have some one build one for you. I have attached the schematic, a spice file is available if you contact me, this program won't allow me to upload it

THUMBS UP, You ought try the sand dunes before they dry out also.

Will it start if you push it, & if so, will it start up after it warms up and keep starting until it cools way down? This, IMHO, indicates that your compression is down.
