i probably won't do that..tempted though

forgot to add this a few days ago:
I got my green LED's in..

i have one spot on the left side of the tach

 

Had the same issue in my 88. Had to bend/ adjust the contacts on thd bulb.

 

I tried that too. I might pick up a new bulb base to see if that helps..I saw some at O'reilly's.
If not I just might have to dig out my DDM...it will be after Christmas though...

 

Got a deal on a spare part too good to pass up

Came with the title and minor p/s damage..
If I ever need it might go dove nose

 

Dove nose?

 

Like a dove tail, but up front...

 

Ah ok thanks!!

 

If I do a dove nose it will be kind of subtle like MT-Toy on Pirate, maybe 3" or so per side:


I would need to come up with some kind of detachable fender flare for coverage so I could still drive it on the street..

 

Threw a couple of LED's into the Voltmeter and Oil pressure gauge cluster.
the bulb is a 1445, I just searched 1445 LED bulb on ebay. got a couple of them for $5 delivered.


old anemic output again...I don't think the voltmeter lamp was working..

 

Tried to go snow wheeling on Sunday and smoked my clutch so truck is down for a few weeks.. guess I can't complain since it is the original since I bought the truck 6 years ago and is on it's 3 rd trans mission

 

Oh well atleast you got your money out of it!!

 

Rob, please tell me that you haven't been recycling the same original clutch each time you swap trannies! LOL That's pretty incredible that it lasted that long. The factory clutch in mine was still grabbing strong at 132,000 miles while I had to pull my transmission to replace my rear main seal. I figured that since I had the tranny out that I would swamp the clutch real quick. Go figure that I would rebuild the motor a couple thousand miles later... Actually, if you want to keep your tradition going, I'll donate my original clutch to you! LOL

 

Gotta love free parts!!

 

Yep same one
Thanks for the offer but gonna upgrade to a brand new this time
Cleaning out the garage right now so I can hopefully pull the t/c's and trans on my next day off..

 

My feelings are hurt...

 

Thanks for sharing. This was quite the read

 

was screwing around in the garage and found a lock on the floor..thought what the heck...would it fit around the shifter and the front t/c lever...

it fits perfectly..when i finally go to pull the transfer cases and transmission to replace the clutch in the near future I will weld half a chain link to the shift lever. Not perfect but will slow someone down in addition to the other stuff I use..

had trouble getting my chains to fit on the snow run a couple of weeks ago when I blew out my clutch, tried for an hour last week to get them on..even with the tire off the truck there was no way they would fit.
...traded an extra 35" spare tire and rim I had for a set of real chains.. not as cool or effective as V-bar chains..but these will fit

 

What's the news on the trucklite LED's you were thinking about getting?? I'm about to pull the trigger myself but its a rough one!! I can get them in town for 249 a piece, but I'm having a hard time with it. You still for sure on these???

 

still thinking about it...in negotiation right now with my wife for $$.
it is being a pain to get funds for a clutch right now...

 

I hear ya!! I keep looking at the videos on YouTube for the lights but you just can't tell how they would be without driving with them? It's just like hid's in a year are they gonna be 100 each or less?? I don't know man I really want them bad and I'm just being a wuss really

It's the simplicity and the minimal power to run that keeps me thinking about them.

Well tax return time I will probably order them I will let you know if I do get them if they are worth the loot and how they perform
