Hi there I would pull each plug out check it for color and do a compression check. That will give you an idea of what's really wrong. The colour of plugs will show you which cylinder has leaked coolant in it. Compression test will let you know if valves are working. Put a little oil in cylinder and it will let you know if the rings are broken. Scary stuff been there myself. Hope this helps.

Hi guys looking at picture certain things come to mind. Is that a 86 axle on a 82. If it is the springs could have sagged over the years. May need a replacement. My 83 now has the 86 axle in and had to get the springs re arced. It sat so low I thought it was going too bottom out. Is there side skirts?

Well 150 dollars later new regulator. Everything working great again. Thanks for the input. I was used to delco alt. Again thanks

Thanks guys will look into it tomorrow .up in Halaburtion Ontario will find a parts store. Thanks

Hi guys and girls. Expect to pay 1200 for axle get with rims and leaf springs. Might be a better set. Sway bar as well. Its different for the 6 bolt. This i know. The guys had to MacGyver my 5 bolt sway bar to the 6 bolt axle. They moved perch pads shock mounts etc. Brakes will need to be replaced 1100 if everything has to be replaced.drums brake pistions, shoes and springs Find a 4x4 repair shop. Lots in your area. They love doing axle swaps. Mine cost 1100 seems thats the going price. Great people here as I just had mine done last month. Note be careful on the width of the axle. Hope some of This helps you decide

Pulled it apart, fresh grease ,new diff oil, didn't pull 3 member, but drained it out overnight with lots of brakes cleaner ,brakes were still in good shape. Made brackets up for shocks ,replaced some brake lines.perch pads spot on no mod needed there.. In baton rouge now a couple of hundred of miles before I dump diff oil. with new oil. regards Robert

1200 to get the axle moded and installed. Drives like race a car now .No sway going around corners now. No need for passenger to hold oh shit handle. Solid work done. Thanks again guys for all the info

think i got the pic sorted out. it showed up with one wheel missing.

Thanks didnt think of that.

I told the garage in Florida to dispose of it. But thanks anyway. Florida wreckers told me I bought it and no refunds ever. Life lesson learmed. Still can't get the pic to load of it.

Finally got a pic to load. Bottom of pic is coming out and top going in.

Back online got the correct axle outside Atlanta. Got a shop to install it today and maybe get it tomorrow night. My old axle is still working. Nerve racking drive up here, didn't go over 55. Rented a car and room for a couple of days. Dam it was cold up here. Got lots of pics but they don't like to be uploaded. Thanks guys that list did work out after all. The new axle has extra heavy duty springs or helper springs. Look totally different from mine. $800 so far.

Yep called them tough luck for me. Not the correct axle. This thing is tiny. USA 1 Canada 0. In Georgia now will look at another one. Just south of Atlanta now. No WiFi here.

Okay took some pics see if I can upload them. Pics not uploading axle is only 41 inches long must be 4x4. Got a call from alanta Georgia. Going to drive there tonight. Sizes are close to mine. Lesson learned. Left axle at garage no space. If I get to a mall or mcds I will try again. Regards Robert
