Re: Mystery wire with pic.

I vote for headlight washer pump connector or European fog light. In Europe cars usually have one bright light front and rear that must be on during foggy/low vis conditions Either way, it's very dumb of GM to not put a dummy plug over that connector to keep the elements out.

Reed, a lot of those ripples on your hood can be fixed with a blow dryer and a can of compressed air (the stuff used to blow dust off of computer components). As long as there are no creases in them, the metal can be shrunk thus taking out the ripples. Youtube it for pretty good videos.

Re: Changing differential fluid, tranny fluid, and transfer

Thats the fluid (mobil 1 75/90) I use in my Harley's tranny. Make for smoother shifts and quiet operation.

Re: New tire opinions

I'm having a hard time finding BFGs in a 33x12.50R15 for my Bronco in either MT or AT. BF is back ordered indefinitely :x . Was going to get some at Discount Tire for $780 mounted but they can't find any. The dude even offered the same deal on GY MTRs, but I want to go with BFG AT.

Re: Still takes forever to crank over...

I believe the check valve on our trucks is built into the fuel sender assembly (pump).
