When I first purchased my truck, the tcase lever was almost flopping out of the truck. Turns out that the lever bolt was coming out and no bushing was installed. I machined up a bushing and installed a much beefier bolt. Now the linkage is solid. More than likely you probably have a worn bushing...

Yeah, taking it up Mt. Washington in 4LO hubs freewheeling (just for some added gearing) and magically the light comes on at roughly 4,000 feet. I was like, "cool...it finally works!" Needless to say that on the way back down the light went off...DOH! I'm thinking a healthy dose of electrical...

My switch only seems to work at high elevations...rather strange. The NP205 does have a much different feel compared to the NP208 because it doesn't have the split shift pattern. I believe the NP208 requires you to go over and down for Low. The NP205 is just straight back and forth which...

Sounds like time for a teardown. Depending on age, you may just want to replace balljoints, bearings, and ujoints as preventative maintenance even if you find just one bad. I'd probably go ahead and do TREs and have it aligned just to be safe. Good luck with the storm. All my buddies in Maine...

Notice I said "if you know what you are doing"? ;) Anything outside the realm of common sense can cause bad stuff to happen. I would say watering your alternators or feeding your glow plugs some ether probably bad ideas.

What are you looking to get out of this? I would say regardless of the engine, if you want to do it right for a long term owner I would have them sent out and checked for cracks, mill if any warpage is found (probably just have machine shop do it anyways to prep them for install, replace valve...

That is a nice set up! Looks like it also doubles as a great place to take a nap...where is the beer fridge???

I believe ARB or Safari sells the cyclonic assembly as an additional option. I've never really seen one on a truck outside of an Australian photo. Probably a massive requirement tearing down dry dirt roads all the time. Not many people actually produce factual scan tool data to see if a 'cold'...

You aren't wheeling hard enough until water comes out of your radio ;)

What is the reason for the pressure gauge? Are you having hard start or low power symptoms? I would imagine you would get some pulsations with a mechanical lift pump. As far as your pressure, I would consult the TM for a spec.

Shouldn't ground pounders be tethered to prevent loss??? :) I personally despise 90% of Land Rover (LR, RRC, and Defender), Land Cruiser, and Mercedes (encapsulates G-Wagen and Unimog) owners because each party thinks that they own the greatest thing in the world and I've personally worked on...

What if you practice Buddhism? :) Seriously, with the luck that I have I believe I truly killed someone in my previous life... Not sure about the red dye. Maybe mix in some clean motor oil to dilute the color down? The whole on road diesel tax is quite elusive. I really think it is all fear...

Just claim that you and your property are a sovereign nation. You could name in Cuck Vee Land or something along those lines. As the man in charge, you can even make up your own license plates! The good thing is that you don't have to pay that diesel tax anymore :) It's all BS. Government can't...

I run that setup and I consider the stock push/pull steering marginal at best even for street usage. Probably some of the best money you will spend on your truck.

I would be game for this! I've been trying to get a small rally together for NC guys. There has been some interest from Jacksonville out to Raleigh. This may be a good place to check out. One member mentioned a military truck collection near Morehead City which may not be too far away from this...

Sounds like you have lots of fun toys. I would be open to stopping by if you are around. I plan on going up to Portsmouth Island in late April with an Expedition Portal planned run. I think you are right along the way.

Sometimes I like to use ether to start my diesel...other times I just like to huff it. Absolutely no issue using ether to start a diesel if you know what you are doing. If you don't...be sure to read all of the applicable placards. You sound like the kind of guy that wears a seat belt because...

You are suggesting the governemt does something logistical??? That sticker goes along side the other one that says to not start with fluid. You can if you know what you are doing. In similar nature, sticking a heated pressure washer hose directly into the alternator and blasting will probably...

If you pressure wash the engine, that sticker will come off and won't be a problem anymore ;)
