Wasn't me, but there are a few around, I know one is a daily driver

There is a resettable fuse behind the guage panel, make sure it's not tripped. Will cause what you discribe. Only takes 30 seconds to check

Put 200 miles on it over the weekend. I love this truck, but the seats have to go.... need to find some air rides with low pro bases. Projects to finish are 1. A/C. Have all the parts but hoses and belts 2. EGT guages 3. Fuel screw turned till I get to 290hp 4. ATF in the trans 5...

No joke those brackets are a tight install. You will need swivel joint for your socket, and a lot of patience!!!!!

Well it's take my truck to work day. So this morning we're on a ferry to west Seattle. What's awesome is that it's the same price as my dodge truck.

Fingers crossed my M1078 will make it to brads tomorrow. I'll have a tow bar in the back just in case. Put 20 miles on it today with no issues.

I couldn't tell the clamp was broken until I took out the bolt. The part it holds in is attached internal to the gov and it won't come out. There is an oring seal on it, if it broke you may be able to stretch a new on over the back side of it. My leak stopped when i got the clamp to work again.

My part number 29 clamp broke and caused an oil leak. The clamp broke at the bolt hole. I was able to. End the clamp fingers and with washers make it work again. No oil leak now. Check that first. Easy fix.

Electric works when the engine is off, Hyd works under water, electric get warm and have duty cycle, hyd run slower. You can power an elec from a different vehicle. Hyd offers speed control. Both have many pro and cons. Also keep in mind when using blocks you can easily create mechanical...

That is pretty cool! I've spent a ton of time out at Dutch, and been to barrow and nome a few times via ice breaker. I love it up there. Heck I have even been to little diomede island. So does amazon prime still get 2 day shipping up there?

It was a lot easier than expected for sure. If you know how to use a torque wrench and correctly tighten bolts in a pattern, your skill level is higher than needed for the hub. Figuring out shims with steves methods is simple, and may need a degree and a lot of luck to do it the army way. I...

A year ago I had little knowledge on all of it as well. Being one of the first to write about the locker install as there was not much info on it. Learned a lot about the hubs here, and until you open one up first hand, they seem more complicated than they are. If your serious about the truck...

The Detroit style locker keeps them always locked until one wheel free wheels faster than the other , like the outside in a corner. To do this you have to overcome all the lockup caused by the spring pack. I'm sure it can be done with a long enough cheater bar, but I know for fact you can't...

Awesome, hopefully some tires will make it up with your crane ;-)

I still have a little growl left as well. Only at coasting. Seems like par for the course on this type of hub reduction. I may later this year check them all again for giggles. It's a lot quieter than previously. The locker has made checking the rear harder. No more being able to rotate...

My biggest problem with the military way is it does not take into consideration any wear or variances in machining. With steves ring tool method you are no longer hoping but know. Also the lash of the end gear is not adjustable, unfortunately.

Dial indicator is the only way, no way that I can see to get feeler guages in there. With the modified hub cover method you can really just feel for it. I have re done all my hubs and all but one needed more shims. On a positive the hubs now are much quieter and run a ton cooler.

Getting the gear off may be the easy part. Putting it back on may be a trick if it's a pressed on part. Your going to love your gears when you get them in btw.

Pretty simple to do the swap yourself. If you look at my locker thread you can see how it all comes apart

I had the same problem splitting some rims. I bought a Milwaukee fuel impact that does 700 ft/lb of removal. Made quick work of them.
