Also for an update


i got the guy to lower the price due to the Service 4WD being on. Swapped the switch from my old truck to the new and 4 wheel kicked in like a charm

yes i do get some pb blaster spray teh hell out of it and if you can get a impact on it with a wrench on the other side of corse
also you can use a small propane torch to heat it up
or you can use a wrench as a cheater pipe if you cant get any of them things to work i cant explain how to make a wrench into a cheater wrench but its where you take the wrench your useing on the bolt nut or whatever
and then take another wrench and use it as a lever to help break em loose

but if you use the pb blaster let it soak for a while
then once you get the bolts or nuts off clean them with a wire brush most likely someone put antisieze or lock tite on them
