    Any advice for first my time tearing my tranny apart?

    Joe covered the most important concerns. Many DIY guys have put the thrush washer(s) in backward. You'll need a big pair of channel locks or a 2? something MM 12 point? socket to turn the motor over via the harmonic balancer bolt to get to all six? converter bolts after you remove the starter...

    Pulling hard to the right in 4wd

    I believe there is a bit of misconception here on how the E-locker works. I believe the correct terminology is it will NOT lock above approx 20 MPH. I don't know about you guys but I've seen my dually spin LOCKED above 70 mph starting from zero MPH. It is a wording issue. So here is...

    Pulling hard to the right in 4wd

    I think your spinning and it's just pulling to the side that is driving. Mine does the same thing when I jump on the go peddle. Most 4x4's do it. Sleeves are put in to support the weak tie rods they have been none to bend under stress.

    volt meter questions

    Like I said there is a big draw OR you have a electrical issue. Even when it's bitching cold here IF I've ran around enough ,always the case,to get it up to full operating temp and and park for a few hours I don't see that kind of discharge and recovery. I have my OWN issues,trying to keep my...

    volt meter questions

I've seen that kind of recovery time myself with only the above mentioned. BUT I do agree that sitting ONLY for a few hours tells me either you...
