My truck doesn't have an idiot light on the dash to tell me the transfer is locked up. LOL Can I put one on my 73?

I found an easy and inexpensive way to boost my mileage this morning. Make sure the transfer case is in 2 wheel drive. My mileage should improve now. LOL What a Stooge!:hammer:

Not sure. I was talking to a mechanic and he said if the headed tube is cool that cylinder isn't firing. I need to pull a plug and check the compression. Maybe the pliug is just fouled.

Well, today I found out why I'm only getting 7 mpg. I have a dead cylinder. I know my hearing isn't as good as it was 10 years ago, but I thought I could hear that. Not sure what to do next. You man says NEW MOTOR. another man says "sell it to the rock crawlers". I hate to see the truck...

OK. From what I see I just ask to join and a moderator says yes or no? I live in Magalia Ca. Just go east from Chico, through Paradise and your here. 'hippie'

This brings back memories of my Grandpa's wise words. If you can't do it right just don't do it at all. I think I'll wait and change front and back at the same time. What gears should I use to get the best fuel mileage and still keep my off road abilities?

Thats what I thought. As long as I don't shift the transfer to 4x4 I'm ok. But if I do one end tries to go faster than the other and I break stuff.'balls'

I know I'm going to get the stupid question of the day award with this, but...... In a 4x4 do you have to run the same gears in the rear as the front? Can you put 3:90 in the rear and have 4:10 in the front? I have a shot at some 3:90s and a locker diff for a good price.

I plan on making an Edelbrock performer and 4 barrel swap after the first of the year. I hope that boost my power and mileage a little.

Buck, I think a single chrome Hickey would look good in that blue 4x4 highboy. If the price is right jump on it. If it doesn't look right but it on craigslist. You might make a dollar or two.

Can you trade a 50 year old for a pair of 25s?

I'm with you guys. I won't buy a vehicle I can't work on. The last "new" Vehicle I bought was a 99 ram 1500. I really liked the truck but all I could do with it was change oil and plugs. I had to put 3 trans in under 200,000 miles at about $2500 each. My favorite vehicle was a 72 K10 blazer...
