Be careful with this... Yes, you can't hurt the bar, but you can pop the ball out of the joint. I did this and had brand new tie rod ends, was down to the last one, of course it was stuck, so I got a big pipe wrench with a cheater bar and wrenched on it so hard, it broke the brand new 555 drag...

Made the light, went through a bunch of plugs disconnecting and checking. Nothing changed. When I put it in neutral and rocked the car forward and back by hand, the test light would dim and the dash lights would come on a little. I thought it was maybe the speed sensors or ABS sensors. I...

I unplugged the easy accessible one on the center diff. Thank you for the list, that will definitely help! I didn't realize so many things ran through that fuse. I have my work cut out for me. It's my wife's DD, so I need to get it back on the road. I'll report back as I go through them all in...

Replaced the alternator with a Toyota reman. Got a few miles from the house and the fuse blew again. Replaced the fuse and got home. It blew within a mile on my way home. I drove home on the battery. I replaced the fuse again to try to troubleshoot, but now the fuse blows the instant the key...

I know this is an old thread, but how did you narrow it down with this light? I'm having the same issue. Lost gauges yesterday. This morning, the engine died while driving. replaced the gauge fuse and it fired back up and made it home (3 miles), then blew again as i was pulling in the garage. I...

Had a little snag. After cycling the air out of the power steering, I noticed a leak in it coming from the power steering cooler hard line under the radiator. I drained it and pulled it out found a small amount of rust in one corner with a pinhole sized leak. I cleaned it up and tacked it...

I was going to post a video of it running, but I don't have a youtube account, so just a picture of it in the street. First time out of the garage in 4 years!!!

It's been quite a while... Been busy building my cabin still... BUT, I got the steering box rebuilt and installed, got the exhaust hooked back up, and a bunch of other odds and ends. I had a few gallons of non-ethenol with fuel saver when I parked it. It had been so long, I drained the tank...

Did you ever figure this out?

Dang... This weekend is a no go for me. Wedding Anniversary and wife doesn't want to go wheeling :confused:

Sorry for the slow response. I had a ton of interest, and it sold over the weekend.

I know this is an old thread, but did you figure out where that needle bearing went? I have the same issue. My brother in law was visiting, he wanted to work on my cruiser, and I had the gear box pulled, so he decided to disassemble it. But then he left, and now that I have time to put it back...

Thanks for the note. I think a lot of factors play into it... I was referring to Snoqualmie Pass on I-90 in Washington, and 4th of July Pass on I-90 in Idaho. Big wide highways. I don't think they get steeper than 4-5% at the most, so you're hitting them at speed, and it will maintain that...
