    4wheel parts for like 30 bucks I think.. I still got them.. 15 bucks shipped lol.

    haha not really.

    Anyways.. got a $40 gift card to lowes, returned some stuff in my shed that I bought a few years back and didnt need lol.. also 80 bucks at sears.. trying to think of things I could buy for my truck... think at lowes ill buy some spray paint... Idk wtf I want at sears, I really want a welder but its not enough.. and i dont have any extra money at all... thinking about some ratchet wrenches but I just put my motor in so I wont really need them for anything... or just buy a craftsman tool set to go behind my seat ??? its reg 100 on sale for 70 right now...and then they got a 302 piece mechanics set on clearance from 400 to 180 right now.. so if your in the market go get one !!!! supper deall..


    but back to my truck.. Im having a few issues... my radio wont turn on, I just re-wired it and ran all new wires...fuse is good in the radio so I doubt I fried it... took it out of the truck over a year ago... any fuses in the truck to check ??

    and the front driver caliper is stuck, if I bleed it you think it will get unstuck or do I need a freaking caliper now !?!?

    I just put in a radio about 3 weeks ago, and had wired up the wrong accessory wire... it blew my tail lamp fuse found in the kicker panel driver side... its a 15A fuse... make sure that and shorts are relieved before tryin to replace the fuse though

    Yeah you going need 12v for your deck. When i did mines we couldnt find the constant wire or was it power wire so we just ran one straight from the battery. Good as new.

    figured out the radio thing.. well not really but it just started working when i plugged it back in again.. maybe with the alt not charging and a bad fuse on it that caused something ?? anyways ohh yeahh check this pic out.. got my "new" odometer in with ZERO miles !!! I suggest unless you know that the hell your doing, its a total pain in the ass and I was screwing with it for a hour or more !!! dont do it lol..and if you do, dont roll it backwards ! roll it all fowards from say 200k to 300 to 500 to 900 to 999k to 0... or 1million... and the speed needle is superr fragile.. it was like a glass tooth pick.. its gone... anyone got one for sale ???

    by the way, I have the correct miles written down and God forbid I ever sell the truck, I will correct it... and if anyone asks, the old one broke so I bought a new zero mile cluster....

    thinking about pulling the trans off tomorrow, along with the oil pan, water pump and oil pump.. im leaking somewhere so I figure ill pull it all apart and clean everything while im down there so it looks new again, since it is still new lmao...

    what do you all suggest to use ? just gaskets ? or gasket plus gasket maker ? or just gasket maker ? and which gasket makers do you all use !?!?

    and whats the part number for a tail shaft seal on a w58 ? If I call advance what year make and model do I give them so they can find the right part for my tranny ?!? thanks!
