Maybe corrosion or crud on headlight switch terminals, connector, or internally. Do the front running lights do the same? If not, won't be the headlight switch. Also check firewall connectors for same.

Glass fuses are readily available at Napa. The factory harness has a connector for the voltage regulator, not that hack job of bullet connectors in the pic. The correct alternator has 2 spade terminals and 1 stud. Known as the "Isolated Field System" per the FSM - get the book. Unknown can is not a ...

Wouldn't the fan spinning on the front keep the crank full forward against the thrust bearing?

I wouldn’t think so the fan is on the water pump.

Ya, needed more coffee...

Is that a real photo? Pretty cool... It looks like either a giant tree or a really small truck.

The trees are like that out here Bill. That's why his location is "La Pine"

W 600? We really need to see pictures of this truck. It doesn’t get much better!! There's a whole thread about it over on one of the power wagon sites. I would post pictures here except I am now using my wife's laptop which doesn't have any. They are all located on my laptop which no longer works. ...

How rare is the large knuckle Dana 44 front axle? My truck came with one. I pulled it in favor of a Dana 60 from a newer truck with disc brakes. I don't have any information regarding its rarity. Out of the 5 Power Wagons I own or have owned.... one has the large knuckle D44. Its a brute of an axle...

If you decide to go back to 435/205, I should still have all the original parts here to do that, including bell, flywheel. clutch, linkage, pedals,column, crossmembers and drivelines.

Thanks!

If you are in need, I have many sets available.

if your shackles are on the front of the springs , the hot set-up is to move them to the rear ...it helps on impact if you do any rock crawling

That would be a very complex mod on a swept!

Looks like a fish, smells like a fish, must be a fish!
For pics, they simply have to be reduced in size to be under 256 KB. There are many ways to do that. A common way is using the "paint" app.

Is posting the problem, or resizing it to get it under the limit?
Also, the link I posted above has details on how to percisely identify the axle.

Post a pic of the carrier.

I just pulled the cover off the Dana 60 rear I got, inside I found a Detroit locker with 4:10 gears. Does anyone have experience with these? Are you sure its that and not a factory unit? If its factory, they call it "traction control", its limited slip and is detailed in the FSM. Had one in a 70 W2...

Ya, that clip is easy to miss. Glad you figured it out! (I don't have a pic of it)

There is a retainer clip on the clutch fork that holds it to the pivot ball. Sounds like that is where the problem is.

That would be a Dana 70, not 60 in a D300. 90W gear oil, unless its a limited slip.

The dual quads are less money, probably because getting carbs that fit is a big hassle.
