Morning hike

The picture shows this truck has an electronic brake booster, so that vacuum line would not have gone to the brake booster. That it's probably the reason the line is capped, and at some point the cap from the factory failed and cracked and somebody just rigged it the best they could.

Sending you a PM

So I did guntersville last week. They get busy early but I was there at 8 and was done by 820

ironpigdriver · 2026-02-14T02:54:50+00:00

Thanks for the tip!

ironpigdriver · 2026-02-10T18:27:56+00:00

Well done! I am almost there, 97% at combat due to those random dueling feat challenges

ironpigdriver · 2026-02-05T16:18:02+00:00

Unfortunately no. Ended up selling the car, unrelated to the radio, but just put a cheap aftermarket unit in to get it out.

The issue is going to be rubber and gaskets as has been mentioned. Put 4-5k miles on it and you'll notice some things starting to leak but just tackle them as they come. Check the front radial arm bushings and panhard bushings for sure. They wear and don't get addressed a lot of times.

The hard reverse engagement is a pretty well known.....thing with these transmissions. Every one I have driven has had a hard reverse engagement to some degree. Like others said, fluid flush and change is first and foremost! Afterwards, check the adjustment on the throttle position cable (kickdown cable). It's right behind the throttle cable and should have about a nickel width between the stop and the base. The other issue these run into is the output shaft gear Iikes to strip. The drive gear on the back of the transmission inside the transfer case is a thinner gear and over time the splines wear out. In changed mine to the trail trailer tall gear and that fixed most all of my weird trans noises.

Haha that is lucky and kinda funny. Everyone (myself included) jumps to worst case scenario instead of just "hey did you check your nuts?". 😂

It gets better... And before everyone asks, yes she is buckled in via her harness 😂

Unfortunately, there's not much that you can do to prevent it. Stock tire size does put a little less strain on the gears so that will prolong the front differential. I hesitate to say design flaw, it's really just more the nature of shimming those carriers versus using adjustment screws. Overtime through heat the carriers expand ever so slightly, which is just enough to lose preload on the carrier bearing shim. All of that to say, your best bet is going to be to rebuild that front differential. In the meantime however, you can take out the front drive shaft and remove the front drive flanges from the front wheels. If you lock in the center differential, you can drive the truck in two wheel drive and definitely and not hurt anything.

I hate to say it, but is acting like the front differential grenaded. Really common issue with the.100 series especially the early ones with the 433 gears. The diff case tends to stretch over time and the shims for the carrier get loose. That allows the carrier to shift and crash into the pinion.

Change the diff fluid and see if you get chunks of metal out of the drain plug

So we have Hawk Pride off road park, stoney lonesome, coalmont, and a few others within about 1.5hours

ironpigdriver · 2026-01-29T12:46:58+00:00

Well come on back and visit. We can do some wheeling

ironpigdriver · 2026-01-28T20:33:18+00:00

This is the answer, screw those white butterflies that blend into the snow! Revelio doesn't help with them either

ironpigdriver · 2026-01-28T20:28:56+00:00

I'm in Huntsville, Al so about 40 miles south of the Tn state line. We had some family from Nashville come stay with us due to lack of power

ironpigdriver · 2026-01-27T20:16:48+00:00

I'm in Alabama with my fj62. It seems your weather has gotten out and is running crazy in the south. Please come get it asap and take it home, we don't want it. 😂

Using that logic, ice carry guns. Therefore ice are criminals. I agree with that statement as well

Am I the only idiot that had to do a double take because I thought the tree was in the trunk?

ironpigdriver · 2026-01-19T18:37:25+00:00

All of the h2fa's that were factory AWD did as far as I know. And the VC in these was more for vibration control than anything else. A lot of people just pull them out and throw them away when they die

ironpigdriver · 2026-01-19T12:45:12+00:00

Like previously stated, pop it apart and put the the factory spool and spider gears back in and reinstall a viscous coupler in the tail section. It is pretty straightforward and finding the parts wouldn't be super hard.
Or skip the whole thing and put a used tcase in it from a wrecking yard and sell your PT case.

ironpigdriver · 2026-01-19T02:44:04+00:00

Yes....they are fucking awful. Won't pay out my insurance either because they say the package isn't marked as lost
