The control module that is mounted on it went bad. You just can't get the module by it's self. You have to buy the whole thing. The module controls the sway bar disconnect, plus front and rear axle locker control.

LOL, you should buy a set of 6 injectors for a Cummins. New- $3600, Rebuilt by a quality shop $2400. Plus new crossover tubes at 90 a pop.

Throw in a lift pump and you're talking new truck.

I have a 6.7 Cummins in the motorhome. Already had to replace the engine fan and controller. That was $3,600. Front wheel bearings and seals, $600 per side.

Russ;
You're gonna have to break out some old school "Indian-Trick's" & repair this stuff

I know about your fabricating skills

I don't have the tools big enough to work on it. Helll, need a 600 ftlb torque wrench just for the lug nuts. Forget about lifting it with a floor jack. The thing weights 41,000 lbs.

You can get a less expensive torque wrench for the 33mm headed nuts,,,just 450-500ft lbs. with a tad of oil.
Most shops have dropped back to a 3/4” drive impact for those.
I still use my 1” on a small 3/8” line & can get it right on without excessive hammering. You can pick up a bottle jack pretty cheap & a couple 7-10 ton stands. On the new front axles/ they’ve tryed making bearing torque idiot proof,by adding a spacer between the inner/outer tapered bearings to prevent over torquing...
Really easy stuff,,,just a bit larger
