the way i tested mine is to unplug the connector to the reverse switch on the transmission, plug in a continuity tester and put the trans in reverse. If you dont get continuity, the switch is bad.
the fuse would control more that just the reverse light, so if everything else still works its probably the tranny switch. I just had to replace mine its really easy.
im not sure; I have a manual tranny and the FSM doesnt show where its located. Just climb under the truck and look for a screw in unit with a connector and wires coming out of it. It should have 4 terminals according to the FSM; continuity between 2 in park/neutral, continuity between the other...
as far as i know the only difference between 'on' and 'start' is the started motor is engaged in start.
The FSM lists the Neutral start switch as a possible problem, maybe check that out
:iagree:
check junkyards and online classifieds too. I found mine on craigslist. The other option is warn hubs but they are not as tough and stick out a lot farther.
how much of a difference is it? If its a small difference the easiest would be to crank up the torsion bars to match but you will get a stiffer ride. For larger difference (like 1.5"+) ball joint spacers would be the way to go. That is unless you dont want it lifted any more i guess you could...
