Found the cause of the squeak on back-up of the wifes XJ, fortunately it became a howl in forward.... thought the D35 had given up the ghost but it was just the U-Joint. 3 more U-joints are still waiting to fail me.

This rig is a game of wack-a-mole with irritating noises.

It wouldn’t have been so bad but the motor isn’t the stock one and it sits back a little closer to the firewall. The speedometer firewall hole is dead behind the upper intake with about 2” of clearance. I had to run the cable between the upper and lower intake and fish it through a blind hole. It got bound up just inside the hole. It’s impossible to reach from the floorboard as well. Had to run a long 1/4” extension up from the floorboard to wiggle it while my buddy pushed the cable. Finally got it through. Got it wound up under the hood till Saturday morning when I swap in the T5. Hope that goes smoothly.
 
Made it legal today. Now a $13.60 inspection and transferring the tag off my blown-up Hyundai, and I'll be riding my own ride again.

Been almost two weeks since two broken belts wrapped around the crank on my 04 Hyundai and melted their way through the plastic timing cover to get between the belt and gear and make pistons hit valves.....

When I read your post about your belts wrapping around the crank causing pistons to hit valves, I thought to myself there goes one of the most unluckiest SOBs I’ve ever heard of. How the hell does that happen?

It gets better.....

Belts broke from being saturated by a bad power steering hose, that I couldn't get fixed because of being out of work for three months with an injury. Then on half time for 6 weeks, and was ONE DAMN WEEK away from having a full paycheck again, to fix the damn car..... then boom.

But I suppose they'd what I get for trying to do the "right", "standup" thing by not begging for people to give me money to fix the shit I couldn't afford to.

Hooooolllllyyy crap what a pain in the ass that swap was. Working on a car that someone before you “modified” always brings surprises. Things like 4 bolts holding on the old bell housing, random things tack welded, different size bolts holding things together that should be the same, hacked up trans tunnel. Got literally everything together only to find the clutch cable is the wrong one. It says it’s for my year, but it runs out of adjustment. It’s too long. I shimmed the hell out of it just to take it for a spin. Works fine but I’ll order the right stuff Monday.
