For years I have locked the hubs at the start of winter and not unlocked them until spring. I regularly shift in and out of 4WD with no problems.

There had to be something else in that area, loose/coroded connection etc. A bad fusible link will NOT suddenly be good then bad again.

If it was the FL it would be and on or off situation. No way it would have power, then lose power, then later get it back. The fusible link acts just like a fuse. Once blown, it must be replaced. FL is NOT the problem here.

Sounds like a rig I know. I may be able to give you some history on it. Sent you a PM.

???????? I have no idea what you mean by this.

You need the top cover for the tranny with the floor shift. It's a simple bolt on once you have the floorboard taken care of. How long has the rig been sitting? I'd be willing to bet your clutch system has no working seals, therefore no fluid. Sounds like a complete rebuild of the system is...

I used the AA Ranger overdrive. It made engine alignment very easy. I bought the AA motor mounts but did not use them. I don't know if they have changed over the years, but back in 96 they didn't look strong enough to hold up a 22R let alone a 350. I eneded up using Chevy mounts out of an...

Something easy like sliders I would build myself. More fun and you end up with bragging rights.

De-smogged 2F with a header and Weber32/36, 38s with 4.88 gears. I was down to about 1/8 of a tank left at the 800 mile mark. I guess the 60 gallon gas tank helped a bit!

If you feel around the sides, by the back seat, near the top, you'll find holes for rear seat shoulder harnesses. These work very well for the top mounting points

I think 5psi works well with tthe 32/36.

Go down to your local hardware store and buy a container, usually quart size, and pour it straight into the core, no diluting needed. Let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes the drain and flush. Repeat 2 or 3 times if you're getting lots of gunk out of the core. Flush with clean water before...

Someone, don't remember who, on the List put a Cummins in a 60 about 5 years ago. I don't know/remember how it turned out.

Yes, put it in the top heater hose coming off of the firewall.

Yep, a smoke wrench works very well!
