The plugs under the center console (on the floor) are usually for the heated seats and center console fridge.

The pump rebuild is reasonably easy. The pump shaft can develop wear grooves where the seals run, so new shaft is a good idea. I rebuilt mine a few years ago because it was leaking.

The best thing to put on the end of axle / gearbox / transfer breathers are inline fuel filters. Extend the breathers into the engine bay up near the wiper motor. Fit a cheap inline fuel filter to each one. They breathe both ways. If you ever get water up that deep in the engine bay you have...

The other place water can leak into the truck is behind the brackets that the inner guards bolt up to. The brackets have a groove on the top that lets water in and a bung on the bottom to keep it in. Bead cases can rust through the firewall. Remove the bung (throw it away) and clean out...

The wings don't need sealing to the body. The water can leak from the front corners of the sunroof (not the drains, further in board. The headlining is waterproof so the water can run down without leaving wetness or staining. My truck is getting a new windscreen tomorrow as the old one has a...

Like the first response. “WHY” would you convert a full time 4wd vehicle that was designed to be like that to part time 4wd. The cost of the kit alone would take forever to recover in the miniscule mpg increase. Would you convert your AWD Audi’s or Subaru’s to Part time??

The rear sunroof drain tubes exit the vehicle behind the rear wheels. The front sunroof drain tubes run down the A pillars into the sill cavities on each side. The sills have the bungs fitted from the factory but also have slit drains that shoul allow the water to continuously drain from...

This part number has 2 x threaded holes for water temperature sensors. 16304-17030.

Could you share the size or part number. Thanks.

I painted my swivel hub balls with POR15 about 7 years ago because they were getting a little sad looking. That is the hardest paint I have ever come across. they sell a small starter kit with a the components that you need for prep. I left the paint to harden for a few days and then...

Oh and amayama.com is an excellent source of parts.

You dont need to have the diff locked to remove it. The only time it “needs” to be locked is if you are doing a front axle service. There have been reports of people having trouble getting one of the axles back into place if they dislodge the locking mech in the diff. I have never had this...

Not so. Even if the rear diff does not confirm locked (dodgy limit switch or wires ripped off switch) the front diff will lock.
