    4x4 tries to pop into gear while driving

    is it making a fairly loud clicking noise? If so it is probably the locking hub(s) going bad on you. I had it happen to me with stock hubs. You can pull them to verify, but I would not recommend driving very far without them installed.

    multiple transmissions?

    change the gear set, the gear vendors sometimes don't hold up.

    anyone running an oil bypass

    I have been looking into an oil bypass filter, and can't decide. So far the FS 2500 or the Amsoil setup looked good. Is anyone using one? Any sugestions?:dunno

    Question gear vendors

    I should have clarified my explination a bit more. BJS is right. I was referring to engine braking being hard on em'. One truck we pulled a gear vender out of, hauled a heavy trailer a lot, and had an exhaust brake. Maybe if you don't haul often, and don't have an exhaust brake it may work...

    banks trans command?

    I have installed one before, all it really does is lock up the converter at or above 1600 rpm, when your foot is NOT in the throttle. It is intended to be used in conjunction with an exhaust brake.

    Question gear vendors

    I work at a shop that has installed and removed a few of them due to repeated failures. If you haul, they do not hold up to deceleration. basically they are not designed to take a load on the backside of the gears.

    bad mileage?

    Whiteduty - My bad...You are right I am running 305/70's, not 75's. BJS - Not sure what size tires came stock on the truck, but I bought the truck used several years ago with 315/75R16 mud terrain's. The speedo was reading slow at the time. When they wore out I put the 305's on in hopes...

    bad mileage?

    Big Joe - Fuel filter gets changed every 15k, and air filter is (or was) clean during time of tests. 3.73 gears. Living in California, I'm not too sure if we get winter blend here. The tires are BFG All Terrain's and I'm not sure that they are known for fuel mileage to begin with...

    bad mileage?

    here's the deal, I get around 13 mpg w/ truck unloaded, and around 9 mpg towing my boat. I'm not really a leadfoot and the motor is stock except a Dr. Performance chip, and K&N Intake. I have unpluged the chip for several tanks of fuel with no change. I am checking mileage at the pump, not...

    Transfer case not engaging with dash switch

    If there is no 4 x 4 indicator light coming on, it has nothing to do with the locking hubs. Yes the stock hubs suck, but the real problem will likely be the actuator motor on the t-case. They go bad from time to time. Greg

    Dual Alternator Swap

    6.0psd777 - Just be careful, the blower motor slowing down does indicate voltage drop, which can be hard on electrical components in the rest of the truck. Bad Night - I have the dual alt. option on my truck, and it's pretty nice having the redundency. I believe they are each only rated to...

    Help Needed 7.3 wont start

    Good advice, one step further would be to put the test light on the starter terminal side of the solenoid (big post) to see if 12v is getting to the starter during the no-start condition.

    Front Hubs Seal Replacement

    In my opinion, if I am in a situation where I NEED 4 w/d. I get out and lock the hubs anyway. I do not trust that the vacuum system will keep them locked when it matters. :eek:

    Steering wheel slop

    I had almost 4" of slop in my wheel. Adjusted the set screw on the steering gear and got most of the play out, but steering was noticably dragging. I promptly backed off the adjuster to the point the wheel turns freely and now have about 2" of slop. I'm thinking it may just be time for a...

    Question ABS Light

    Ditto, sounds like the vss on top of the rear diff. The tubing at the front hub is likely the vacuum line that locks the front hub when 4wd is engaged.

    Help Needed No 4x4 esof indicator light not coming on

    It's been a while but you should be able to remove motor from t-case and check actuation. They do go bad from sitting.

    battery light

    do you have a single, or dual alternators? Is there batt. voltage at the big terminal on back of alternator? (key off, engine off) There is a fusable link on this wire, typicaly at starter relay that can go bad. Key on, engine off, is there 12 or more volts to one of the small wires at the...
