Thanks, gentlemen.

It'll be Monday unless it's late arrival today.

Got only my fancy g56 fluid today (so that can blow up next!)

find one.

I couldn't. After I pulled the trigger, I was told there IS one - but I still can't find it.

From what I've read (disclaimer: all hearsay. I have no personal experience with either :flipoff2: ) the ARB is superior to any other full case selectable. And for your price it's a no brainer.

This thing is a sweet rototilling machine!! Locker works great. I didn't find switched power under the dash on the driver side (need to find the fuse box) so the trigger wire is on a constant power circuit. That could screw me someday (like the York on the Dakota) but it works like a champ. No tank, just the Thomas and the arb solenoid. It takes maybe half a second to charge the line and lock it. Compressor is in the toolbox; I left plenty of slack in the lines to reroute to an underbody toolbox later.

A heavy dually with a spool on pavement is a pretty notable beast.

It drives like a damn champ. I can't believe I've only had it for a week and have had to do this much to it - but it's almost whole again.

I got it out from behind the trailer but should have just left the trailer where it was. I got stuck but at least got the truck back out even on ~40% highway treads.


I didn't take a pic of the piece of gear tooth on the trans magnet :-/
I'll be keeping an eye out for a G56.

Fresh Gorilla Juice in the trans, temp sender installed, arb all set, 4340 Yukon shafts. The only thing I didn't get to was drilling and tapping the exhaust manifold for the pyrometer.
