Indeed. I requested him to not make the wiring harness because I don't trust it. I prefer to make my own to my own specifications. Like usual. Lol

That's just a switch body. I haven't bought a rocker cover yet because I don't know what I need it for yet. (A spare switch). Maybe one more light related, I dunno. I would like to keep that bank solely for lights only and the bottom switch panel for engine related controls or anything else.

Green is for when the dash lights are turned on

Red is for when the switch is activated.

Ah, never seen those without a switch piece. All I use is toggle switches personally.

Yeah I preferred to use this type because it look cleaner and I like how it lights up individually. Etc

Ohh yea I forgot. I also did something Friday night

As y'all recall. I got wrong LSD carrier so I had to buy another one (this time it's a brand new AUBURN unit.

Been in a box and when I wanted to move the ring gear over to it, I pulled it out and saw there's a lot of metal chips inside. Ugh. I wasn't gonna risk simply blowing them off. In case some of them got caught inside gears inside.

So I had to disassemble, clean and then assemble.

It ain't no joke trying to put springs back inside between the spiders. After an hour I made it!

Then I put the ring gear on it.

I gotta pull the arb out of the front axle so I can install new inner axle seals, then put it back.

I'm dropping the axles off at a friend's in couple weeks so he can finish regearing them.

Pressed in new axle seals on the front d44.

Had to cobble together a tool to simultaneously press in both seals at the same time.

Using a couple of 2.5" exhaust pipe pieces, a threaded rod with a couple of nuts and a combination of different sized washers.

I'm in the need of a GM one-ton steering kit. Anybody got one that they don't need/want anymore? I can trade stuff for it. Either the entire kit, or individual parts, or a DIY kit.

Hit me up
