i purchased my wig-wag set up from galls also. i think the one for the front lights was $40-50 and the one for the rear lights(alternates the brake light and the reverse light) was $50. very easy to install. just tap into a switched power and then cut and splice. i installed mine in a grand...

yea.....it sure would have sucked to have to sleep over night on the beach:D steve

i dont even bother with putting it on with a filter socket. if you do though i would hold the ratchet right up close to the filter not at the end.....you would be suprised at how easy it turns holing it at the end and next thing you klnow it on way to tight. steve

great work so far. when you put the steel on the under side did you just use square plates at the mounting points or did you run a full lenght between the frame rails. im thinking if some one ran the full lenght they could weld it to the rails, possibly strengthen the set up. and with steel...

if your going to do this with a "warm" engine you might be ok just using your hands.....i mean like only ran for like 5 min or less. trust me that **** gets hot fast. i mean suff like the cat converter have burned my arms many times. i usually dont have a prob getting the filter off if i did...

is there a way to make the front passenger window separate from the lock out switch. my kids are big enough to hit the rear switch but im tired of my wife asking me to unlock the windows and then having to lock them again. i think it would be easier to modify than explaining why i pushed her...

does the sport trac have more room in the door for the rear window to go fully into the door? i have never opened one up but there may be a stop type pin or some thing on the mechanism that can be removed.

im no expert here on the transfer cases as this is my first 4x4......i have a 97 xlt. if i remember right i think you can try to turn the swich on the transfer case manually. i remember this from doing a t-case swap. on the side will be a black round thing that sticks into the case. maybe...

im looking for all the body mount locations for a 3"bl, any help would be appreciated. oh and i did search but was unsucsessful. thanks, steve

im pretty sure the way i read it is you can have 2 hi, 2 low, 4 auto, 4 hi, and 4 low. this i think depends on if you have the switch thats in the brown wire open or closed. but then again i could be wrong. steve

yup, its 4.0........might have to do some scouting around. any one know what axles will cost(salvage of course)? and must both front and rear be changed?

im looking to install a 3" bl, a tt, and of course some bigger tires. i have a 97 xlt with ale code d4 which as i read is a limited slip with 3.73 gear set, correct? my quetion is should i try to find a diferent axle with 4.10. i only do mild wheeling (think the rock piles in mall parking...

there are a few things that i know that make this happen most likely your vehicle speed sensor or the little gears at the end of the transfer case. when mine did this it was the gears that turn the gears on the speed sensor. if you pull the sensor and look at the teeth of the gears and they...

i am very interested in this. i have the exact same truck and i had this type of thing happen to me. in my case it was something in the transfer case. some thing in there was causing the front axle to engage and disengage in an instant. at first it felt like i ran over a crack in the road or...

here is some of the figures i found interesting: remember your truck probably weighs around 4,000 lbs LW = loaded weight Surface resistance A pull of 1/10 LW will cause a free wheeling truck to move on a hard, level surface. A pull of 1/3 LW will cause a free wheeling truck to move on...
