    4WD Actuator Redneck Fix

    I am new to this forum, so please forgive me if this write-up is subpar... I decided to put this in the transfer case section instead of the axle section because that's where everybody looks when the 4WD stops working. This is an explanation for those who have problems with the 4WD actuator in...

    4WD Actuation

    Sorry I didnt respond, been to busy at work. Its been working great. I havent had any problems(as of yet). Supposedly drives MPGs down a bit, but I havent checked it yet. Yes, I unscrewed the actuator, slid the socket in, and put the actuator back in. I jacked one wheel up so it could turn...

    4WD Actuation

    The light for your 4wd comes on when the actuator pushes the linkage in inside your differential. You don't need the actuator for this to happen, and it has nothing to do with your transfer case. My actuator got caught and ripped out the wires while wheeling. I just unscrewed it and put a 7/8s...

    My truck is usually okay to drive, but if its windy my truck is so squirrelly it is almost dangerous to drive. My steering wheel had some considerable play, and I figured that and a bad alignment was the reason my truck was so squirrelly I lowered my truck 1 inch in the front from the previous...

    How soon should I paint? Should I EVEN paint?

    My truck is a pile. Everyone tells me not to put money into it. Why? Its got 260k miles on it, the paint is chipped, fading, scratched and rusting. And the entire front end is garbage. It couldn't go straight if you towed it. Probably needs an alignment as well. I enjoy it though. I have done a...

    Fan Conversion and Electrical Question

    Definitely a false reading. Voltmeter showed a fluctuation from 14.16 (no load) to 13.92 (AC full blast, lights, and music). Guess my gauge reads like its a half Moon gauge with 265k miles on it...weird. Guess I'll get a temp gun and check actual running temp. Unless they make an aftermarket...

    Fan Conversion and Electrical Question

    I will look into the blower motor, and put my multi-meter to it and see what actual voltage is reading. Overheating was something I was thinking might get resolved by an E-fan. I will do some more digging on my craptacular cooling system, and maybe post a question in a different section of the...

    Fan Conversion and Electrical Question

    I have wanted to do an electric fan conversion for the last year, but have always put it off. The time has come, but I am on a budget. I have read several threads on doing the conversion, however, I have some questions I was not seeing the answer to. Maybe I read to fast. I was planning on...

    I bought my truck just over a year ago to learn some mechanicing, and have been creeping on the forum learning as much I could. Figured I ought to join since I spend so much time trying to find info on my truck! I have a 1990 K1500, its a beat up old truck. 264k miles. Bought it thinking I'd...
