This may sound like a silly question but I have ZERO experience with differentials. I plan on changing out my fluids this spring, on the front, once you have the cover off, how can you tell the diff between an open and limited slip front end? Thanks, Greg

Thank you very much!

Coolant temp sender/switch part number Hello everyone. I am wondering if anyone has the part number for the engine temp switch that controls the idiot light in the dash. I have looked through the TMs and they go into changing the unit out, but no part No. or NSN listed that I can find. The...

Skull, if they are the stock studs they will only go in so far, the stock ones, at least mine, have a stop and will only go in so far. Also if its the stock air cleaner, even if the studs are in to far, the base of the air cleaner would not crush the filter, they simply wouldn't fit up through...

Well, I finally got around to fiddling with this issue more, I puled the cluster and indeed the trace had partially pulled aray and was not making contact. I got it back in place, tested it out on the bench and it worked fine. Put everything back together and still no joy. However, now when I...

As antennaclimber said, they are two different parts. The glow plug sensor is on the rear of the drivers side head, on the inside side if that makes sense, the high idle switch is on the pass side head at the rear, behind the No8 inj. The easiest way to chk it is let the motor warm up, then see...

FMJ, have you tried contacting Hillbilly Wizard? http://www.hillbillywizard.com/ I have not dealt with him personally but have heard good things! Good luck! Greg

Hello, everyone! I have, through several posts since Oct. when I finished the rebuild on my '96 6.5l turbo rebuild chasing a smoking issue in my pass. side bank. I had installed the new motor N/A as I had run out of time and funds and was going to finish the turbo install this spring. In mid...

98G, I like the simplicity of your mount! Very nice. 2 questions though, 1 have you tried it out and seen if it holds up to pulling yours or a similar sized rig outa say some deep mud/snow or much of a grade? 2Do you have some way I don't see in the pic that keeps some low life from sneaking off...

How do you keep them "up" :nothingfunny:

Rich, I don't mean to change the subject of hijack the OP, but I have an M1008 and am going to be rebuilding the front end 'Dana 60", I am planning an a 4" lift and highly doubt I will go over 35" tires. I wont be doing alot of hard core offroading, no rock crawling or anything like that. Whats...

JJP, you just jarred my memory!!! Thank you! The unit i mentioned above was the Audiovox, I used the DS magnets. I did not know it had been discontinued but its nice to know somethng similar is around as I was thinking of putting one on my M1008. Thanks again!!

You can also adj. shift points by adj. the vacuum regulator valve on the pass. side of the injection pump. If you loosen the two bolts holding it in position, rotating it forward will make the tranny sshift sooner/softer. I believe some of the modulators on the side of the tranny can be adj...

TexAndy, its been a few years ago, but I bought an aftermarket CC unit from JC Whitney, a universal unit, I used it on an 85 silvarado I had a gasser, but it worked great. I cant remember the company that made it, or the details of the install, but I do know it was not hard. Had a small, 2...

Rusty, If I was already there, I would just go ahead and replace that small piece of rubber hose just as PM, who knows how longs its been there! Just my 2cents Good luck! Greg

Rusty, I have an M1008,so I am not 100% sure, but I would bet the cab portion is the same. Anyway, when I put in my dome light, an APC light with the blue and white lights, I ran the wire up the A pillar, under the interior rubber trim, then removed the drivers side visor and after marking...

Tim, thanks again for your time, thoughts, and ideas! I have included some pics of the topper I have, you can see the exterior door that opens almost the whole length of the pass. side. It is also taller than a typical topper which is one reason I bought it for camping use. I have not decided...

Tim, thanks much for the ideas, I am not super well versed in auto electric like you are talking so that gives me something to study up on! Recovery4x4, I would like to have both actually. As I first mentioned, a way to charge a bank of batteries in my "camper area" now that I have a topper when...

I am very sorry for your bad experience but I thank you for taking the time to post, I had been looking at these and even posted a link in another post due to the price, now I see why they are so inexpensive (cheap)

Keith_J, I looked over your AC setup, very nice! Like I mentioned above I was also thinking of using the M1010 alt setup and then running a york compressor setup to fill a tank for on board air. When I started looking at 24v DC motors, however, my teeth about fell out!!! $350ish is the best I...
