I just realized you're in WA.
I registered mine at one of the local strip-mall licensing centers and they never even asked about an inspection. I walked in, paid the $, and walked out with a small license plate.
Years later it still doesn't have a light on the plate.
Also, ask your buddy if...
Good point!
Forgot to mention - stock M1009.
So the light just tells me the desired condition (4WD) not the actual condition.
It always goes off with the lever in 2HI. It almost always comes on when the lever is pulled to 4HI, but sometimes there's a delay. It might come on a minute or two...
LOL, well if there are two responses that completely miss my question I guess I failed to articulate my question well.
I only mentioned the transfer case, I didn't mention the hubs or the front axle.

Today it was time to put them on again. The wheels are 16" chrome-ish steel from a later model chevy pickup.
Today while it was lifted I spun the wheel and heard the...
Bolted to the deck? Weird.
They seem to sell for much more than I would be willing to pay- but fortunately my M1101 came with a set, which are locked inside unless I'm using the trailer. Check ebay for going rates, but someone that ended up with a trailer and didn't get the legs will want them.
I found a NOS replacement on craigslist a few years ago. It was stuffed into an attic crawlspace and forgotten- guy sold the truck. You should regularly search cl with the search term "K5" and see what comes up- sometimes it's surprising. I'm still looking for a half-cab setup to appear. I...
