    4WD Actuator Redneck Fix

    Did this method on my 88 GMC K1500. It definitely works. I have 4LO but I don't have 4HI. I think it's a problem with my transfer case. Every time I shift into 4HI it pops out. Anyone have this problem or the solution, gladly appreciated.

    4WD Actuation

    How did the socket work? Did you just place the socket inside the front diff and bolted the original actuator in after it?

    4WD Actuation

    Yeah that's what I'm assuming. Wires for the fancy lights to come on.

    4WD Actuation

    I didn't do the swap. Since there are no wires connecting the T-case, would the posi lock help me get working 4WD?

    Suspension and Wheel setups

    Even though this is a Ford. Has anyone seen these the Regular Car review of the Ninth Gen F-150, does anyone know the wheel and lift setup on that truck. I would prefer a similar setup for mine.

    Suspension and Wheel setups

    This is one setup I would like to go for. Newer style OEM wheels and maybe a leveling kit. If anyone could recommend shocks and a leveling kit for this kind of fitment that would be awesome.

    Suspension and Wheel setups

    My 1988 GMC Sierra is basically my first offroad build but not my first Chevy. Knowing these typical OBS trucks it's time for a suspension rebuild (bushing, ball joints, shocks and what not). I'm looking for aftermarket shocks wheels and tires also. I'm wondering what setup you guys have, and...

    stock radio controller & Aftermarket head unit Help

    Maybe if you wired just the power ground ignition and illumination wires? But I'm not sure. The aftermarket Kenwood stereo in my truck threw a miswiring code simply because one of my speakers where out and it was drawing too much power.
