    Front Differential/Removed my Drive Shaft

    From what I was told, after all this time, was a rod in the transfer case was broken. Don't know if the rod attaches somehow to the front driveshaft, but they replaced this rod in the transfer case and my truck works just fine (so I've been told) I haven't picked it up yet. Thanks for the...

    Thought it was the shift motor, now I don't know, need help diagnosing the issue

    OK. This is what I found out about mine. I haven't picked it up yet from the shop so I cant swear on this! Anyway. I was told that there is a rod in the transfer case. I'm not sure if it attaches to the front drive shaft, but he said that the rod had broken and that is why I couldn't run...

    Thought it was the shift motor, now I don't know, need help diagnosing the issue

    I wish I could give you some great advise, but at this time.. I'm still trying to figure out mine too. If I have the front drive shaft in, mine clunks, bangs, grinds and barely turns in either direction. I had it to the transmission shop, they fixed/replaced the transfer case seals & gaskets...

    Unfortunately, the 99 doesn't come with that option.

    Front Differential/Removed my Drive Shaft

    Ok, so maybe I can get some input for my next questions. Front Diff is "going bad". 1) junk yard or rebuilt? 2) any clue as to how much each/either costs so I can determine if I'm getting screwed? Sure would appreciate it.

    Odometer Light?

    Thanks! But it looks a bit more technical than I am. I can take that puppy apart. Could probably even get it all back together with no problems... but resolderededededing it is more than I know what to do. I'll have to do some more info gathering to see if this is something I can figure out...

    Odometer Light?

    Does anyone have their odometer light go on and off? Mine works when it wants to and goes off when it wants to. It always keeps the correct mileage, but doesn't stay on. Had a mechanic tell me he would diagnose it for me... at a $100. For now its not that important, but any insight would...

    Wow....No I'll have to get a pic. I've had her so long that the thought never even crossed my mind to take pictures of her. LOL. She doesn't look as sweet at yours. But she is mine and she has been a great truck!

    Front Differential/Removed my Drive Shaft

    I have had to remove the front drive shaft because we (mechanic) thinks that the front dif is gone bad. At this point, I can't afford to have this replaced/repaired. What do I need to know or do while the drive shaft is out? Do I need to move my "4wd" knob to any particular setting? Right...
