Just don't get banging on it too hard. I was trying to get the retaining ring off and the tank fell out while in the air on the hoist. Yea -- there was no catching it.

Changed mine last thursday, ended up being the whole encased sending unit. Not the sending unit with the replaceable pump. My parts guys sent me the wrong pump first and I'll tell you right now you wont like the price!! Oh and as it turned out the connection for the gray wire had...

Yes it's fine that it moves, I'd be conserned if it didn't.

Ok when in 2wd the left wheel - axle and part of the front diff spins when going forward. In theory the other half of the diff spins backwards along with the intermediate shaft until the central locking collar. Now the right side wheel and the remainder of the right side axle spins forward...

IFS 4x4s' from GM don't have locking hubs. We have what is called a "central axle disconnect" this is controlled either by the thermal actuator or the vacuum actuator. Now there is a manual cable conversion called "posi-loc" or something like that where a lever is run into the cab to slide...

Wouldn't by chance be a rock stuck in a tire.

Thanks ,, Thats great to hear. (so to speak) I've looked at then a few times but not wanting to go through the flowmaster swap expense type thing again I was leary. No one around here has run one yet to get an idea of what it sounded like. Thanks again

Ok Bear ; serious question here. I had a flowmaster for a short time and had to change it out. The drone was bad enough that I couldn't hear my daughter trying to tell me that the noise had given her a headache and anything over a half hour ride brought her to tears. Is the vortex farly...

Isn't there an access cover or plug where you can put an allen key or some sort of drive into so you can close it manually just for this kind of situation.

Thrush, I remember those they still making them?? Had a pair of them on an old 74 pick up with 3 on the tree. Sounded good for the first month or so until the glass burned out of them. Could hear dad coming home from 4 miles away.

How about posting a little clip of what it sounds like. I've been looking at that one myself.
