Lower right rear bushing and it pulled to the right, scary if you hit the brakes hard so I quit driving it except to test it.

Mine was a lower. I had tried prying on it with a pry bar and got no movement but in the air with the shock off it was easy to see the movement. It was frustrating because I had done everything as you including rear axle seals and new drums, brake cylinders, etc. complete front end and also a...

I had a similar issue, replaced the front pads and calipers, bleed the brakes, etc. and still had the pull. Took the front shocks off and could see movement in one of the control arm bushings I had recently replaced. Got a bad one I guess.

Did anyone mention your ground cables ? I have had that happen on a couple vehicles.

Had to order the control box relocation kit as it won't fit with the stock bumper and still had to extend the three #2 wires another 18" to reach the new location by the battery. Welded up a little bracket to use existing holes. License plate stays down with quarter size neodymium N52 magnets...

Wow, good thing you slowed down before it came off. I think somebody must have messed with it. I have never found any of mine loose but did have a wheel come off my motorcycle trailer on the way home from getting it painted. They took the wheels off to paint it and obviously didn't tighten them...

I got the $15 universal flaps at Oreilly's and trimmed them to fit using the stock holes. They help but I don't think anything is as good as the running boards. I'm looking in to some kind of a bottom plate for my sliders so the will act as the running board did but I don't want them to fill...

As stated check the positive and negative connections first, then the neutral safety switch or see if you are getting voltage at the started relay. You can also bypass/jump the relay and if it turns over you will know it isn't the starter. I had a similar issue where I wasn't getting power to...

I wouldn't add anything to that radiator for fear it would come apart, overheat, and blow the head gasket or leak into the transmission. Normally I would but you are on borrowed time. Once the temp gauge says it is hot it is too late so get a Scangauge or similar so you can read the actual...

Anything over 5 years on a radiator is asking for trouble, don't be cheap, just replace it and most likely it will solve your problems. That is if you haven't already fried your HG. Change the thermostat also and make sure the jiggle valve is in the 6 o'clock position.

Two local trans shops no longer do the full flush and both said they stopped because they had failures shortly after doing the complete fluid change. The added cost also factored in. I think if you neglected the trans for ~200K then flushed that it's possible enough junk could come loose to clog...

Finally got everything hooked up after getting the wrong wiring harness, ARB claimed it had been modified even though it was factory sealed and shrink wrapped, then had a bad seal in the front locker even though it wasn't in the recall. Improvised a surface mount from a $4 walmart ammo box...

As suggested just pull the radiator hose, especially if you are flushing and doing several drain and refills.

You could try a temp gun on the radiator fins and see what it reads, hot water comes in the top. Won't be exact but you might get an idea of what temps you are running. I would start with the coolant sensor as stated. 12:1 Infrared Laser Thermometer
