Update, Back in August, I ended up taking my truck to a mechanic because of the oil leak I mentioned on here. I couldn't use the shop and do it myself because dads tractor in in a 100 pieces. It ended up being the timimg cover. I had him go ahead and replace the fuel pump as well...

I took the sway bar last night. It rides a little smoother aff road in the fields. I couldn't really tell any difference on curves in the road. No body roll. I took it off because it needed new bushings. I had read where others had taken it off with no ill effects, so I tried it. So far so good

I finally got around diagnosing my 4wd light today. I have only seen it light up once. I started off by cleaning the connection and switch. I got nothing. I jumped the wires and the light came on. From what I have read and the TMs that means I have a bad switch. I am going to pick one up...

I took the truck on the powerlines last night to play with the 4wd. Seems dad and his buddy did a good job with the hubs. My 4wd light hasn't worked since I got the truck. I actually saw it blink a few times last night. Hopefully it is just a bad connection that I can find. Put all new...

Apparently dad and his friend got bored yesterday and took my truck and replaced the inner seals and locking hubs. They pulled the bearings, they said they looked brand new so they only replaced the seals. The driver side locking hub fell apart when they took it off. They were replaced with...

I changed out the CDR valve today, just as a precaution since I don't know the last time it was changed.

I cleaned the underside of the truck this morning and put a clean white t shirt under the IP and went for about a 25 mile ride. The shirt was spotless and oil was still present on the bottom of the engine and crossmember again. Here are some pictures from underneath the truck when we got back.

Perfect, I will do it tonight and drive it tomorrow and report back. Thank you for your help

When you say up under the IP, do you mean where the fuel line connects? Reach behind the breather? I know it sounds silly, but I just want to be clear!

Marcus thank you. I am hoping to be able to check it all tomorrow and that it will be a quick fix. Side note, I took the truck on its first real drive yesterday. I drove 100 miles round trip. I found out my speedo, jumps 5-15 mph. It only stays still for maybe 5-8 secs at a time. Also, the...

There should be a meter here. Will you tell me what I am looking for? Am I looking for 12v at the splice? Should I hear the clunk when I use the switch. I like the idea of using a three way better, just nervous about cutting the light blue wire to get it on there. I will read up on about the...

Any ideas on the gp controller bypass issue above? Should I resplice it or take it out and put a three way in? I am open for suggestions. Also anything on the reverse lights? I added new Silvestar H6054 headlights last night and wow! What a difference. They are not like the 55 watt HIDs on...

If I able to go. That sounds like a great idea. Thanks

I have the ground going to a screw with another ground and 6 male prongs attached. It is locate under the dash driver side as close to the fender and under the dash as you can get. The splice was done using a wire splice. It has a place for both wires. You close the lid and it pushes a metal...

Sorry the pictures are sideways. I took them withy phone and added them to the forum with my phone. No idea how to right them

I got my package from LMC today. I have added the gasket to the tail lights, new side markers and bulbs and finally finished the GP controller manual switch. On the switch, I just spliced it into the light blue wire. As you can see by the picture, I have power to the switch. When I turn the key...

My bracket came in from Boyds. The bracket to block bolt wouldn't go into the block. I took the following steps below to clean the threads. It was a slow process, but it worked. I took a .30 cal bronze bore brush and twisted it in the threads. A haze of rust dust came out. I squirted PB...

Got the starter bracket on tonight. Will update more tomorrow

I got the ORD bolt in steering brace put on today and I am half way through putting the manual GP switch in. I also ordered the OTC 7158 socket ( from searching the forum)so I can do my front bearings. I got it from eBay for $10.00

It does look like ya'll had a good time last year. I will do my best to get out there. I have a Customs test sometime in October, so as long as it does interfer with that we are good to go. I have never heard of toothpast before. I will definietly try when I get home. I am taking my bearing...
