Well as to lockers I want air or electric lockers and I want them set so that when in 4high the rear locker is engaged and when in 4low both lockers are engaged. I plan on using custom built brackets with electrical switches to achieve this and also the shift selector will have a 4x4 indicator that will be illuminated through the same switches and relays. Ok I will probably not do this because of money but if I do you see the plan. Or just modify some hummer swithces and brackets.

If you plan on getting air or electric lockers you can turn them on and off anytime you want. There is no need for any custom switches or anything. Just reach out your hand and flip a switch.

Yeah but I want to do away with gauges and switches mounted all over the place. Like now in front of the shifter the PO has an add on amp metter and oil gauge. And if the switches are mounted under the truck I still have my nice plain dash area and instrument cluster.

Well what a pain in the but this truck is being!!!!! The heater was only working in high and making a loud noise. SO I replaced the blower motor still didn't fix it and I broke the heater core in the process. Then I was told there is a resistor which appears to be missing. And after driving it the master cylinder started leaking from the rear piston area so I replaced it. Well when I went to blee the brakes the front caliber bleeders broke off. So I had to replace the one and install a new bleeder on the other which was to short so now have to find a longer one. Every time I fix one thing another goes snap or bang or crack err what a head ache LOL

Well out putting the headers in my truck and all new exhaust headman headers I wrapped with heat shield and then hooker exhaust with glass packs. Any way all this is going good but I noticed some thing I didn't like. As I said some one put the 410 well rather then doing it half way correct and getting motor mounts and so on they cut the motor perches and welded flat stell into them so now I need to find the motor perches. Be ok if they did it with some effort but it looks like crap and doesn't look very strong at all.
