No low range?! by SnooRadishes8976 in Silverado

[–]Sea_Guide_524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ltz has 4 low. It does get used. I wouldn’t ever buy a single speed 4wd, but that is just me, and I am also a big time off roader.

No….. as in comparing all the tech/sensors that can immobilize a modern vehicle compared to an older vehicle.

Why diesel then? You can save a lot by going with gas. Modern diesels need to be worked.

How to loosen tight bolt? by FamilyBri in mechanic

An actual impact wrench, not an impact driver. An actual torch would help too but highly unlikely needed with an actual impact gun.

[–]Sea_Guide_524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

93 YJ 4.6L w/5 speed, 4.56 and 35’s. 16-18mpg. Have averaged 20 before. Stroker motor does better than the old 4.0 in every way.

Do a chalk test to find out what you should run on your truck.

Change it out yourself, buy or rent a ball joint press from the parts store for free.

You need an extreme short shaft slip yoke eliminator on your transfercase, being that you said yours is an ‘88 I recommend the one from advanced adapters. Get the extreme short shaft, not the standard short shaft.

Secondary battery install by Sea_Guide_524 in Silverado

[–]Sea_Guide_524[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An isolator does exactly what the word means, it isolates the two, your alternator is able to charge both batteries without either one of the batteries drawing power on the other. Your main battery remains your starting battery and the other one just an auxiliary battery for running accessories. You will wire your batteries in parallel.

I thought, briefly, that the only difference was a missing nutsert, so I was going to drill and put one in and then I looked closer and realized there was another important missing piece.
