sorry to hear about your exhaust manifold, how do you think it happened?[/quote]
Cool beans, I will be there at 7:00 tomorrow.
I found my manifold crack while looking for a ticking sound under the hood a couple weeks ago (under heat shield). I had the crack brazed as a temporary fix so I could make the Rubicon trip. But it needs to be replaced.
I also found out that I cracked my left rear brake caliper on the Rubicon. I was getting a nasty squeal while driving home from Tahoe and the brakes felt a little mushy. I stopped, found the source of the noise and pulled my rear wheel off. I took off the caliper, removed and reinstalled the pads, checked the rotor and backing plate, bled the line and could not find anything wrong. The noise persisted till I got home where I had my wife stomp on the brakes while I watched the caliper and it was flexing really bad. I found it was badly cracked and by the time I got home, the rotor was messed up too. The caliper was banged up pretty bad, probably from backing into a rock. Gonna fix it fixed today if I can.
See ya at the M&G.
