    you can invent your own rod, or just leave it off. the neutral position for an empty bed is with the swing arm roughly parallel with the ground. If you leave it off, you'll need to affix the swing arm so that it stays in that position.

    yanking out bushes and trees is rough going in georgia thanks to that concrete-like soil. broke a chain a few years back at my sister's place yanking a shrub out. :ack:

    same here. though probably for a different reason. :P

    they're just jealous. :yes: also:

    someone doesn't have a rusty truck. :yes:

    the more likely cause is a leak. Our trucks are prone to them and the cause could be ANYTHING that could possibly leak. from the firewall, to the windshield, to the door seals, to the rear window. find the leak before putting the carpet back. :thumbsup:

    insulation + some heat = florescents work fine. :D (hint, hint)

    Dakota hose should be plenty. :thumbsup: but I'd advise against blocks in the rear. Going SOA increases spring wrap. adding blocks to the mix makes it even worse. :(

    having the propane heater on full blast and still freezing my butt off is why I'll never not insulate. but it wasn't my garage at the time and I didn't have a vote. :fs1: Now the shelves are up, the bench is in, the garage is full of a decade's worth of stuff and I cringe at the very thought of moving it all to add insulation. :(

    yes, you'll need to nip off the ends of the steel sleeve with a hack saw or grinder so that they are flush with the rubber. :thumbsup:

    now is the time to insulate! quick! before the walls become blocked by stuff :yes: It's not that much more money or time if you do it soon. later on it becomes a real pain in the butt. (can you tell my garage never got insulation? :( )

    would you like me to make that your avatar?
  14. Pete M
    that too. :doh: basically get anything that touches the trans (including the t-case if possible). :D

    either way, be sure to get all the guts. :thumbsup:

    the bellhousings are not interchangeable. :thumbsup: try to get a bellhousing from a 95+ AX-15 to get the external slave. don't forget that you'll need all the guts to that bellhousing, not just the housing.

    I'm out of state at the moment, but he assures me he'll call once he's found someone that has them in stock. :dunno:
  18. Pete M
    very nice! :clapping: I assume you're going to insulate?

    post 89 2.5ls still had 21 spline inputs on their t-cases. though I remember hearing of some spline length issues on certain years. :dunno:

    I wouldn't use heat if I wanted to re-use that bearing.
  21. Pete M
    yeah. the impact of my weight on the end of a 3 foot bar. :yes:
  22. Pete M
    yup, I use a 1/2" breaker bar and a pipe extension. :thumbsup: and for when you're trying to get the hub off:
  23. Pete M
    It probably did screw on. just not off. :yes: and for the record, I'm half your age and I'm to old for that kind of prank on do-it-yourselfers. :fs1:
  24. Pete M
    not my van. its pulley is made of plastic. it just breaks when the puller is used. :(

    How to break into almost any vehicle: buy a pack of quality wooden shims. get hammer or rock. pry upper corner of door apart just enough to get a couple shims in. keep adding more shims until you have enough room to stick in a coat hanger a strong rubber band taped to the end of the coat hanger can grab most door locks. other rigs will need the coat hanger bent to grab the door handle. you didn't hear any of that from me. :D
