Posi-Lok on Push Button 96

Has anyone put a manual front axle actuator on a push button truck? I bought a posi-lok kit because my actuator has been sucking and I think having a little cable to pull under my dash just sounds fun. I have push button 4wd. Will the little light just keep blinking forever on the 4wd button?

96 wont start after big tune up

DO NOT BUY ENGINETECH TC350 TIMING COVER FROM ROCKAUTO. The problem was the timing cover I put on it which was listed as an OEM quality replacement. The hole for the crankshaft position sensor is too deep, which keeps the sensor from getting close enough to the relucter wheel. This made my...

Yep I made for damn sure. I put it on tdc one more time and popped the cap off before the sun went down today and the rotor was pointing right at the mark. I installed the distributor initially with the valve covers off, so when I put it on tdc that time I made sure it was on the compression...

OBS door hinge repair kits

I bought the Dorman 924102 to replace the whole upper hinge on my 96. It was like 42 bucks on rockauto.

I tore my 5.7 down to the heads and redid everything up from there, including acdelco mfi spider upgrade. I cant get it to start now. I've put it at tdc and re-dropped my distributer twice now, making sure all timing marks lined up. It just cranks. If I give it open throttle, it'll sortve...
