Karma finally gets me... ESOF problems


Well at least I got almost 2 years out of this silly system. My 4x4 has gone intermittent. It works sometimes and not others, but as of the past few days it fails more often than not. I think I know where the problem is but I haven't had time to tear into it yet. I guess I better go get a mityvac and prepare to bend over on a repair bill. I think I might have some ball joints going bad, need shocks, turbos been making weird sounds...

Chase you can do those Balljoints on your own pretty easy. It is not too bad of a job. If you sweet talk Mark (Milleroutdoors) a little he might even let you borrow his shop down here and we could swap those out in no time. LOL...

That's a bit of a drive to have a nice garage and some help!
I've done one side so I know what I'm up against already. I could rig a way to drive the big knuckle seal on, and beat the ball joints in/out if I try hard enough I know.
Ken... STFU

Just not looking forward to the "fun" of chasing down an ESOF problem. I think I know where it is, but if its not then...
