Christmas came early for me this year, as my gears and locker showed up yesterday.

I had electric fan issues, so I had to investigate, and it turned out to be the ground for the fan motors had come undone due to vibration. So I soldered the negative and positive wires to ensure it wouldn't come apart again.

I did have a helper though:

Yeah ummm I wouldn’t want to hit anyone with that bumper I have now

Well my truck should be coming home today. The old powertrax lsd was locked in on one side and not the other, so that was a waste of $450.

The Detroit locker (trutrac) is in there now, so I should have no issues with traction now. The complaint I got from the shop was the bolts for the mag-hytec diff cover was the bolts were too long, so they had to be shimmed with washers. I do certainly like the shop I chose, because they went ahead and did the axle seals, even though I didn’t supply them.

So test drive done and such, you may ask what’s it like with the trutrac in it? Well for the folks that have never had one, it’s worth every last penny it takes to buy it. No noise, smooth traction, no binding etc. I am obviously in the 500 mile break in process, so I cannot get rough with it or tow just yet, but I’m anxious to try it .

Now I’m chasing a charge problem, and it is always something isn’t it?

JCribb I love your truck. It’s very similar to what I want to do with the exception mine is a long bed and I plan to stay automatic.

Are you running EGR?
