I'd inspect the battery cables (both), sounds like a ground issue.

The 72-80 use a different latch on the bed...

So, if I follow this correctly, you are pushing the TV cable back another 3/16" from the point it normally contacts the rod? Do you think the trombone is worn that much?

I had the opportunity to talk to/met a guy who swapped a 5spd in front of 3.07s (90 w250), he said it isn't really useful for anything but highway/grocery getter use (which is his main use of that truck for running parts, he had several)...he told me that you basically have four forward gears...

Old thread...the 90's turn signal stalk is only a lever for the high/low beam switch, which is at the base of the column attached to a rod from the turn signal stalk.

I think that may be a typo to be honest... Could you imagine towing with OD and 3.07s...

Again, other than someone swapping axles, have you ever seen a factory 3.07 behind a 5spd?

While I've never heard of 3.07s behind a 5spd from factory, I have seen Dana 61F and Dana 71 housings geared to 3.55 from factory. But the norm was 3spd 727 auto with 3.07s and 5spd with 3.55s (4.10s as a factory option).

The technicians had other training, the FSM was a guide.

Check your vacuum at the booster...low vacuum will pop the brake light. The ABS may just be the system at fault...unplugging the module behind the glove box temporarily will rule that out.

There was a NOS offered on one of the groups last week for $1350...they are out there, but they are pricey. I'm glad I have the prior grill setup, easier to find.

To be honest, FB is the reason internet forums are almost gone...far more traffic on the FB groups than the forums these days.

Rockauto had replacement rear ABS units a few months ago...the ABS unit is nothing that the DIY guy can service because of the way they are assembled.

My thoughts, having done this several years ago, is forgo the tab and simply stake the pin into the hole with a chisel. The fitment of the pin to its bore is tolerance (it is not sloppy loose), any deformity at the bore entrance would prevent that pin from ever coming out. No tab to buy or...

The ABS is causing both lights to illuminate. It is caused by either the Rear Wheel Antilock (RWAL) deal on the rear frame, the RWAL sensor in the rear axle, or wiring in between.
