    1985 6.9 Project

    If the transmission is in neutral and you roll the truck a little it will cause the transfer case gears to move without a load on them. This will allow you to shift into or out of 4 X 4. It will grind a little but will not hurt anything. I have been running four wheel drive vehicles since...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    We have the most expensive fuel in the country due to our Governor's taxes. WE just voted for a 25 cent per gallon tax, last year or two.

    I don't electrical

    I am surprised you have not burned your truck to the ground! The wires are total garbage. I am not saying this to degrade you. I am stating facts. You need to do something drastic like take it to a GOOD shop and spend some money. You don't have a clue and you will end up making a pile of...

    Looking for a good IP shop

    The guys on the list, above, are members here. We know them very well and trust them. I was at Classic Diesel's shop about two years back. I missed Wes so I did not get to see his shop or talk to him. :( My fault.

    Can't figure out this brake situation

    My first truck was a 1972 4X4 with manual everything for $4040.00 out the door. A friend just bought a F-150 4X4 with all of the toys for $70,000.00! I bought my first house in the SF Bay Area for a bit more.

    Towing an OBS Ext Cab Short Box Gas 30 miles with CCLB Dually

    YES put the transfer case in neutral. I have towed Jeeps all over the Western States with it in neutral and it works great! That is way they have added the neutral to the transfer case.

    Harmonic balancer spacing

    You are good. The balancer is very close to the pan, but no worries. If it was contacting the pan you would hear it! :Thumbs Up
