Didn't think about that additional feature!

I'm sold. I'm going to do this.

 

I like that idea too, I tend to use my 4WD very little, but that is going to change this summer as I will be visiting a few more remote locations in Idaho. Having the vacuum pump over the pulse kill switch would be more beneficial for me as I don't plan on using my 4WD unless I need it. Being able to stick it in 2WD low while putting around makes things nicer on my "beverage" and keeps me from having to ride my brakes. I like the ESOF idea mostly as the convenience of it is too sweet. The trick it sounds like is making it a reliable system. lol

I would like to, eventually, put the 4.10 (or 4.30 with bigger tires ) gears in mine. So I'll be quizzing you on that next spring I'm sure I'm thinking LSD, with air or electric lockers, if that would even be necessary. A magical creature can dream, can't he?

 

Ordered my ESOF hose kit Hopefully this is the problem, if not at least this will never be an issue in the future!






I went with the kit for a lifted truck because I know at some point I will be allowed to lift it and I don't want to be buying hoses again

 

You got the 6-8 inch lift ones?

 

Yeah, when I do finally get to lift my truck I'm planning on a 6 inch so I figured it would be better to get the longer ones now and just route them out of the way.

 

I thought your wife already complains about getting in, you're heading for the doghouse

 

It'll be about 18 months before I'm ready to start shopping for a kit. I'm really happy with my truck right now, I just need to get it to 100% and drive it the way it is like so many on here have suggested. The horn is messed up and I have a new one on the way. I have only one key and one fob so I have 3 new fobs coming (one will be just an extra un-programed in case I need to replace one) and 3 keys so that will be taken care of. Only thing left is the ESOF leak, the washer fluid reservoir leaking, and getting the studs removed so I can install the headers and get my inner fenders back in Once that's done the only thing I will be doing is cleaning my truck and detailing the hell out of it and hopefully getting the windows tinted if I can bring myself to part with the money

 

Sounds like a good reason for them fancy auto extending running boards

 

Your truck came with 3 keys, maybe Razzi and Matt will give them back to you someday

 

Well I'm glad you only have a paragraph left to do!

 

Nothing to note other then i'm addicted to this song...

 

All this talk about two wheel drive low, vacuum pumps and what not. Easiest solution, manual hubs. I really don't see how fixing something that's just going to fail again is worth the time or $. Get out of the seat, and lock in the hubs when you need them. If you think you might need 4 wheel drive sometime soon, lock them in before you go so all you have to do is flip the switch. Plus, manual lockouts look nicer, and won't leave you without 4x4.

 

Installed the 6.0 trans cooler today, took a couple hours and scraped my forearms up pretty good digging between the radiator and AC condenser, but well worth it I think...


It seems like maybe someone installed a resistor to my trans temp gauge? It ALWAYS reads in the middle, even if the truck has been sitting overnight and is obviously cold haha

 

The trans temp gauges are a fail safe gauge. In order to accurately monitor temps a stand alone gauge, scan gauge, ultra gauge or some tuners are needed.

 

Couldn't agree more. That's why I changed over to manual hubs at the first sign of a problem. The ESOF / vacuum hubs are great for the ladies though.
