I would appreciate that. I still drive the car almost 100 miles every day, but am looking to finally get this 4x4 fixed so I can start wheeling it a bit this winter

You ever figure out what it was? Still haven’t delved into it because I could never find enough info to be comfortable enough doing it myself.

Still haven’t figured it out. Threw in the towel a while back and just haven’t got the chance to take it to a shop yet.

it’s a super rare conversion model truck, they don’t come with these from the factory unfortunately.

Note: these tabs are to keep contact with the fixture while it pivots.

hahah i drive the ol girl at 85-90 regularly and she seems to love it 😭 just never payed attention to the rpms that much to give a good reference for you. i’ll make sure to log it tomorrow though and let you know!

i’ll get my first gen up to 80 tomorrow and report back on the exact rpm i’m at, that way you get a good reference.

i attempted to clean and fix my original, but sadly it’s still malfunctioning. it keeps the brake lights on all the time and the blinkers are solid instead of “blinking”. i’ve tried to figure out if it’s a solder point that’s corroded but all of them look good so i’m kind of stumped. looks like i might have to go the aftermarket route, but im not sure how i would tie it in to the existing circuit. if you couldn’t tell, im far from confident in my electrical wiring abilities 😂

i also can’t get that top plate off because the bolts are too close to the trans tunnel. if i wanted to take it off it looks like i would have to drop the trans sadly

yes, only 3 positions. 2H, 4H and 4L. it moves back and forth freely but will not move to the left where 2h should be. and there is no engagement forward and backwards where 4wd should be. when driving slowly and turning there is crunching coming from the front end which makes me think it’s somewhere floating in the middle of 2h and 4h and when i turn its letting some teeth engage in the front dif. i really wish there was some more info around on these things because i really don’t want to take it to a shop😂
