I hope for the best for ya on this problem , I recently bought a 85 t4r yhat needed a hole tailgate window assembly and the wiring was shot in the truck. My answer was to install a double pole double throw switch in the cab and go straight to the battery . yours seems more like a relay switch...

When I back up I hear a knockin in the transfer case or tranny when Iput the transfer case neutral and place it in rev it is much fainter but still there. Also there is a bit of slack in the rear tcase yoke . When I purchased it I toped off all the fluids and the t-case took over a quart to...

Well after studying on the matter of gears and after and listening at the input on the matter I have decided to order a 4.7 :1 reduction since I am having a bearing issue in the transfer case. I wouldnt loose my fuel milage on the road buy doing that. I will start another thread concerning my...

You hit it on the head , You see I use the runner around here going fishing gravel ramp in the swamp) hunting and just checking out the propertywe have accross the road and i never int. go looking to use 4x4 on the dubious momentary task so now you see how the locker will help. not to mention...

I was concerned that the straight axle drive shaft on the 85' would not work on the 86' transfer case . My 85 has just developed a knocking sound in rev coming from the trans. it is not loud or binding but noticable. The vehicle i am getting parts from had a bad motor so I am hopping the trans...

Thanks, I was just conserned since the 86 is IFS if would it be a simple swapout. :thanks:

Hmm, TELL ME MORE , I know the lowrange is not low enough, I am all ears cost , special mods required , road worthy, reliability

Fellas, will a 5 speed and transfercase from a 86 work in a 85' ? I found one in a recking yard and am considering it for a spare.

I appreciate the info fellas , the locker I am considering is the aussie (on a budget) , for those times I get catywampus crossing a ditch on and angle and to save me from locking the hubs for the one event only to unlock them afterwords. I am hoping to get tractor like low gears for crawling...

Fellas , I would like to get your advise ! I recently purchaced a 85' t4r . It is high milage but mechanically sound with a mildly rough interior and soso body . It came with new 31" AT tires on steel spokes(a little tall geared for these tires). I want to use it for a weekend hunting, camping...

I have officially begun scrounging for parts for my 85 t4r today, I traveled 3hrs each wayto Texarcana, here is what it yeilded, a complete tail gate with the glass and hardware $38 , nice homade rear bumper $38, rear quarter panel molding $12 each , Left rear tail light $12, Warn winch mount/...

I appreciate the info fellas I can just add a leaf fairly reasonably in stead!

Actually it is the rear that is sagging I may just put some 2: blocks on thr rear and go with it what ya think?

Howdy fellas, I recently purchaced a 85' 4r that is a little cosmetically ruff but mechanically sound . I would like to put a 3" susp. lift to make a little room for the 31"s . My question is will this require any drive shaft modification? This rig is a weekend trail / hunting machine that will...
