after passing the fordyce test with stock gears and just a front locker, my dream of getting duals is finally coming together. may sound  but iv been waiting for this day for so long. i ended up getting 700$ for  high school graduation, praiseee the lord, so iv just ordered the marlin adapter, sky manufacturing dual skid place, and a hefty t-case mount from 4xinovations, and im buying an extra case from a buddy in town. hopefully it will all come next week so i can get the show on the road. 

[THK Matt]

you ever get your engine problems figured out? if i remember right you had problems with it this winter.

ya i just ended up drilling 2 extra holed in the housing of the thermostat and that fixed the occasional weird overheating problem. its couse i have a piece of crap thermostat and since it works now i haven't bothered getting a nice one.

i got my second transfer case today its a 92-95 non top shift with a digital sending unit for spedo. i know technically im suppose to use a top shift... anyways i talked to lill buddy about it and he says its good to go and will jsut require a slight bit more mods, i trust the information fully but im wondering if anyones else has used a top shift with a forward shift for duals and i have the mc adapter if that even matters. and if anyones done it and its absolute hell then let me know couse ill jsut take it back to the guy. i dont know anyyythingggg about transmissions yet so im about to learn

[THK Matt]

if i remember right, doesnt the forward shift have to go in front?

[lilbuddy]

if i remember right, doesnt the forward shift have to go in front?

Why else would it be called a forward shift if it didnt go in the front?

[THK Matt]

Why else would it be called a forward shift if it didnt go in the front?

i thought i was how shifted was why it was called that..
in stock form its in "back" but when you add duals... it should be in front.
thats what i was saying LB.

im wondering if anyones else has used a top shift with a forward shift for duals mc adapter if

I have my stock 85 forward shift case in front of a 88 top shift case, if that helps any?

Maybe you hippies should wear some shoes when you are wrenchin'!!

[-Matt-]

i know seriously i pushed my luck to far so now iv leaned my lesson. always wear shoes.

[jonathan82toy]

Yes, wear shoes I had a Pinion  fall 6ft onto the top of my left bare foot    I still have that bump there too.   

[Doof]

i was wondering why you had shoes on the other day when i helped you hang that x-member

it actually doesn't leak at all just some grease residue seeping around the felt from it being hot here. i try and keep the truck far from being a driving menstrual leaking machine.
