Have you decoded the rear axle data?

Don't use it for a parts truck.......too complete. Post it on here if you decide to sell it whole.....might have to make a road trip.

I don't think we will part it out, and I will post it if it is sold, but wow that would be a long road trip for one of these trucks. I havn't done anything with decoding the rear end, but the locker in it definitely works good for trying to move this thing in snow.

Here's a video of starting it up last night when it was around -10 F. Only reason we started it was we needed to move it out of the way from where it was parked.

The choke is a bit over "choking" when it's cold it almost completely chokes the engine so you've got to give it some throttle until it warms up and the choke turns off. I'm amazed the choke even works.
