Trying to catch up on some pictures...
So for those that are keeping score at home, this is how far back my cross member moved from the original location.
14 3/4" +/- (using the TLC cross member)
So I am slowly making progress in the vacuum that is my garage of solitude...
I need some guidance / ideas for my transfercase shift(s).
I would love to keep the single shift lever, but I'm open to twin sticks.
Any thoughts? Pros and cons? Would LOVE to see pictures of your set up if you are...
Burping the system help mine out, I was having similar high temp situations.
