Anyone know what size the pinion bolt is on an 88' d35? Wondering if it's just a normal bolt or one of those star bolts (not torx)

Hi there, I am new to this forum and would like to ask a question and hopefully someone may be able to help, I have a Jeep Cherokee 2.5td yr2000 that has a bad coolant leak, I fill up the coolant reservoir and it starts to drip from a small rubber pipe underneith on the front of the block, it's hanging down but stuck in place. As soon as I start the engine and move along it starts to pour from this pipe. I think it maybe the water pump gone but need some help on the matter. Many thanks in advance
I checked some diagrams and it sounds like you're referring to the lower radiator hose. The water pump sits up high on the left side of the engine (right hand side if you look at it from the front) and bolts into a water manifold that runs down the same side.
Hoses are a regular wear item, as are the clamps. The OE part number for that hose is 52028407AC

Okay I guess for V belts
Bad for modern serpentine belts.
If you're having trouble with a squealy belt, remember new belts need to be retightened periodically as the rubber stretches during the first few hours of runtime. Personally I don't do the deflection test business... I just tighten it until the squeal's gone. No need to destroy pulleys and bearings.
Also a lot of people (including me) love the Goodyear Gatorback belt.

I use the gasket and a light layer of rtv to hold it against the thermo housing while I install it. If you use too much rtv it can get inside the thermostat area and prevent flow. I also give it about an hour to cure after installing the bolt just over finger tight, then finally torque it down. Then I wait another hour before adding fluid to make sure it has set.

So my front end has developed this new noise that sounds like peddling backward on a bike or like dragging a chain, and it's only related to speed getting louder the faster I go. There's nothing I can se that would rattle or hit the driveshaft.
Think my front axle is on the way out?
