OK, well it's finally back together. Not tested yet but it seems ok inside the shop. Approx $375.00 in parts from HOYE to do both sides of the 4x4 but they are totally done. I took it apart and had a local guy with the correct tools rebuild the components. Then he and I threw it back together in no time. His labor was $340.00 so for approx $700 its all done and should be fine. No test drive yet but its rolling fine.
I now have a new question. My electrical sucks and my idiot light for the TEMP does not work. I want to install a TEMP GAUGE for better accuracy. Any threads to previous posts to recommend? Will I have to tap the engine block for a sensor of can I use existing stuff on the engine for as gauge?
thanks again for all the help.
