Good write-up on pulling the 3rd:

If you have ABS, the rear axle sensor is on top of the 3rd:

Hey, not 100% on-topic, but was mentioned above - where are you guys getting the 10mmx1 caps for your brake lines?? NAPA doesn't carry 'em, at least not up here. I could really use some! Seems like every job I have to do requires removing lines, and I am getting SICK of draining the MC...
Thanks!
Good luck with the Diff. seal - doesn't seem to bad a job for ya.

Usually you can use some vinyl vacuum caps that fit snugly over the end of the brake line.

Or, we make some M10x1 caps, male and female:

Thanks, 4Crawler. I'll let you know if I can't find anything local that I can "mod" to do the job...

Well, the factory put 4.56 on trucks with the 31" tire option that had manual transmission and 4.88s for the automatics.

I've got a 22re automatic on 31s and the 4.30 stock gears suck. It's driveable, but it struggles up hills and in headwinds, and if you can afford to regear I heartily recommend it.
