    Inner axle shaft fixin

    @gooffeyguy the cir clip on the shaft really doesn't seem to have much room at all to compress around the shaft. I did put grease on the shaft before putting it in the housing. I do have the old cir clip and it looks to be complete.

    Inner axle shaft fixin

    I noticed before that with putting the shaft in without the cir clip that it seems to be a fairly tight fit and not much radial play. It makes me think that there isn't room for the cir clip to compress to fit through there. I'm really starting to wonder if I should have left the old clip in...

    Trying this again today and I'm back to where I was struggling last weekend. I picked up a new cir clip last night. The now 3 that I have (the original, the one I was using last weekend and the new one) all seem to measure the same. I did try the suggestion from @George B to engage four...

    @MassHoe04 i still have the old one. I don't trust trying to reuse it though.

    Inner axle shaft fixin

    @Fless in that first picture the shaft definitely isn't centered. I can hold it up and push in and feel it touching something and kind of eyeball it to where it seems to be centered. But when I took the picture it was in a spot where it really has a quite of play (the radial and axial play...

    I got the shaft out. Wrecked the seal in the process though. It seems to look ok in there. I was thinking that the cir clip was stuck in the chamfered area past the bearing.

    @OR VietVet holding the shaft in the end of the flange is about 3" from the side of the housing. I've probably got about a 1/2" of both radial and axial play so I don't think it's engage with splines yet. I can't just give it a tug like I could before to pull the cir clip through the seal...

    Weird current draw

    I was checking this out again today. Not really sure what was going on before, but parasitic was down to .02 amps without me doing anything to it. I checked a couple times and left my meter on for a few minutes. The reading stayed consistent. When was I was trying to figure this out last...

    If I remember correctly there is a smooth area between the splines and the bearing. I think I have the cir clip past the bearing but now there's something else I'm fighting to collapse cir clip.

    I'm stuck here guys. Any advice would be appreciated. I feel like I'm going crazy trying to get this back together.

    I got the shaft in some the cir clip is past the bearing. Now its in another spot where the cir clip won't pass through and I can't pull the shaft back out.

    @randeez oh gotcha. Yea i have a deadblow here that I've been using. Can't get a real good swing in there but its enough that the cir clip has gotten a little marred up.

    @randeez but the splines are in past the bearing. I did try putting the shaft in without the cir clip and had problem getting it pushed in and engaged with the splines.

    I honestly don't know what I'm missing here. This all the farther I can get the shaft to go in. It seems like the cir clip won't pass through the needle bearing.

    @OR VietVet ok that's what I was thinking needed to be done with it. I'm having trouble even just getting the cir clip through the bearing.

    Back at it again this weekend. Have a new bearing, seal and cir clip. This may be a dumb question but how do you get the axle shaft pushed in with the new cir clip on?

    Weird current draw

    Thank you @Fless . I never knew there was info out there to equat drop over a fuse to current flow. Very good info. I hadn't heard of silver migration yet in the instrument cluster. The gauges seem to be functioning properly but looks like would be a reason to have it rebuilt. What is the RAP?

    @MassHoe04 i believe dad said it was custom built by the guy he bought it from. And yea, I believe its fiberglass. The truck is my sister's. The shop is great. Its a farm shop. But parents got out last year and sold the place. They're having a house built now and Dad is figuring on...

    Weird current draw

    @Fless I was probing the fuses with a test light to see which ones were hot then pulling the hot ones one at a time to see which one would cause a drop in the current reading on the meter. I had the meter connected in series on the negative side of the battery. But you're saying to just...

    Weird current draw

    @Fless its an 03 Tahoe LT (just added it). I never checked inside if the lights were on, but the time that I spent just pulling and probing fuses would have been enough for them to turn off after the battery being connected. And in that time the draw had jumped a couple times. But even just...

    Weird current draw

    Has anyone ever experienced a parasitic draw that would alternate between .7 and 3.4 amps? I thought I was having connection issues with my meter, but even once I had solid connections the draw would still change. It seemed to change about every 20 seconds or so. I don't know if I'm dealing...

    @MassHoe04 its one my dad's toys. I'm not entirely sure on the model other than being called a highboy. Dad has gotten into car shows over the last few years and takes that one fairly often. The camaros are on the other side of the shop. Then he has others at my sisters place.

    Headliner removal

    My headliner has sagging fabric so I was figuring remove it so I can put on fresh adhesive. I was watching a video about how it comes out and the process seems a bit daunting. Do dash panels really need to come out? I worry that with the old plastic something is bound to break.
