    so it may be worth it for the summer month to get the better gas mileage.
    ..disconnect the TOD computer plugs..
    ..and remove your front spline "lock" rings.

    Trust me..this was the result of several cocktails, much knowledge..
    ..and two sponges (dust/dirt barrier) care of Big Swede.

    It works..1100 miles so far.

    JBTW..fit Aisin or Warn front hub disconnects..and pull yer TOD puter plugs..

    ..same deal.

    No shafts...drive axles..diff this or that!

    It got me home..and still going strong

    My TOD computer plug is not disconnected, just the removal of front drive shaft, will that cause any probs to not unplug it? No noise anymore and better gas milage so far.

    Seems like the major advantage of vxfocus' method is that you lose all that weight too. Got to be 100-200 lbs. at least right?
