Before I install my new to me tcase...
I found out what this is for. It was designed for arctic climate and a canister slid into the cylinder (surefire heater) and it would plug into outlet on fender and warm up the coolant in the engine. Warmed the tube and the coolant flowed around the jacket. Talked to Gary's Trucks in...
I weld a good amount of aluminum and this subject got my attention. I did a quick search and found some good answers. Definitely would not work for what I do 90% of the time. For filling holes I think it could work really well. It really is best for lap joints on thin material. looks like...

This morning I got to listen to an older man from Russia who migrated to the US. His grandmother was a professing believer of Christ during Stallin's time. She got to spend 8 years in prison for that. Her brother twice POW and somehow escaped and lived ending up in France jumping off a train...
Couple questions for anyone interested in replying.
1. I believe I have the T136-21 (sprag) style T-case. I tried engaging it today to see if it works. Well, it is unhooked from lever. Can I add parts to upgrade to air? I don't really want the front only engaging after the rears slip. I...
