    Heater refurb question

    tip for universal extensions that flop around. take black electrical tape and tape the wobble part. don't tape it so much that you can't move it but enough to make stiff. surgical tubing also works but everyone has the black tape on hand. highdesertranger

    Offroad Marketing Part Time Kit?

    talk about a blast from the past. in the late 70's and early 80's I worked for "Off Road Supermarket" which was the retail side of "Off Road Marketing". I installed thousand's of those part time kits and taught many mechanics how to install them. I knew both Vanzant brothers as well as...

    Axle flip problem

    just maybe if and this is a big if the overload was sill there he would have the clearance for a nut. maybe only a thin nut like a jam nut but it might work. being in that configuration the overload will do nothing as far as the ride height goes, but it will move the spring plate down a...

    Rear Park Brake Cable Too Short w/4inch Lift?

    Front drive shaft is hitting

    I can't put my finger on it but something is not right. with a 4 inch lift you shouldn't need spacers between the frame and the cross member. the mounts are diffidently oil soaked I would start there. also that hardware for the cross member looks shaky. different length bolts and the...

    Auxiliary trans

    if you are getting that a Gear Vendor shouldn't be used for towing it's not because of the strength of the unit it's because you are out of your power band and would be lugging your engine. double overdrive rarely works. you would need a super low axle ratio and or massive increases in the...

    Front axle tube slipping out?

    front axles are full floating no c-clips. the axle shaft actually moves in and out of the spider gear as the wheels are turned. the machined surface on the tube is normal many are like that. highdesertranger

    Squarebody Bolt List? Odd Question!

    here's what I do in that situation. lay out all of your bolts, nuts, screws on a table where they will not be disturbed. sort them all according to diameter, length. in other words put all the same ones together. then start assembling using the process of elimination, say you need seven...
