Can you point me to where Dom suggested the drilling? I thought that my axel needed the same thing when I did the install on my LV, but others seemed to think it would move back once the full weight was back on the frame?
Do you have a before pic from the side?

Dom has a thread about installing his OME lift. He discusses it in there, sorry for the confusion.
I will look for another pic from the side.

Where did you get this from? I can not read the color codes of the wires, I see the license plate light (I figured 1 of the wires is for that) but could not figure out the dual connector. Thanks for the pic.
I remember hearing there was wiring for a backup light. This is supported by the wiring diagram posted. I suppose there would have to be some wires at the column shifter near the firewall in the engine compartment too?
Tony I have a few early wiring diagrams you can copy.

Today I drove the truck to the fire academy, only 16 miles round trip, but very fun none the less. I got a lot of thumb ups and strange looks from people trying to figure out what the hell I was driving. I am taking it on small trips around town, to work out the bugs and build up my confidence in the truck.
Well, as luck would have it, when I pulled into the parking lot there was a sheen on the floor board and firewall, the clutch started leaking.
The rear diff has leaked since I brought it home, I topped it off, wiped it all down and come to find out, it is leaking from between the 3rd member and the axle housing
Something else to fix.
To round out the new list of things to do are find exhaust/air leak, adjust valves and change the oil filter unit and oil lines.
Is it possible to hook up the temp. gauge backwards?
When the ignition is off, the needle is on the C, when the ignition is turned on, the needle moves over on the H, and as I drive the needle starts coming down to the mark left of the H. It seems to me the gauge is working in reverse.

Tony-
Glad to hear it's on the road! Can't say that about the "other" 45 that was/is taking up space in the garage.
I have at least 3 of the oil canister elements. If you need one I'm up for donating one for the cause for sure.
As for the rear diff the only seal I have will replace the one on the 40 when I actually put the ARB in it after 2 years of sitting on the shelf.
My gauge works as follows:
With the ignition OFF it rests at "H". When I turn the key to "ON" the needle drops to "C". Once started it stays at "C" until warmed up, and eventually reads about mid-range on the gauge.
EDIT: I'll pull the cluster tomorrow if you'd like me to check the wiring for you.

If it is not a problem for you, that would be great!
Decided there was no better time than the present...

Thanks brother!!
Hey Tony:
The 45 looks great. We all need to get together for a FD photo. Looking forward to your posts. I will be doing the same with my 65-FJ-45.

Name the station!! I have a few "issues" to address first.
Looking around I noticed I am missing 1 sway bar bushing bracket, anyone have a spareWhat is the fascination with the chains? Are these factory or a PO install?
I have a sway bar for an LV if your still looking

Thank you for the offer Mike. I found one and will be re-installing the sway bar very soon.
The LV, SWB and LWB sway bars were the same?
I checked the wiring to the Temp gauge and it is wired just like Dom's. I have not had time to check the sender or try a different gauge. Next weekend I will get to it.

I have a couple of senders I could throw in a your box if you need some to try that !
