1999 Jeep Cherokee Classic. 68k, 6 cyl, 4.0 liter. AC, cruise control, Power steering, Power Windows, Power Door locks, Tilt, Overhead console, Trip computer, Tinted windows, Pioneer CD player. I installed everything that comes with the Rubicon Express XJ Long arm kit (RE6300, $1749.95) about...

Does anyone know the torque specs for the pinion nut on the transfer case? There weren’t any specs in the instructions so I just used the impact gun on it. I think that might be a problem. Actually I don’t know but I am looking for things that might fix the problem. Thanks
