Thanks for your response....I will try NAPA and if all else fails I will scour Barrie's auto shops for a longer 13/16 socket....many thanks!

PS...Jeeps goes into shop tomorrow for rear pinion seal and add a leaf to the driver side rear spring pack....which leads me to my next question....even without the add leaf to the passenger side (carried 200 lbs of radios) the angle of the "U" joint and shaft coming out of the transfer case seems somewhat drastic....how much angularity can the joint handle?...(jeep already comes with standard 12 leaves per rear pack).

Also, I ran across a few posts of some people drilling a 1/8 inch hole in the skirt of their thermostat....why?

Regards,
