    I dont have any online but I can take one...they go right in were the stock vacuum units come out nicely. The switch for them is on the unit itself so I ran 2 sets of wires up there and made disconnects in the wires at different points so that they could be unplugged to allow the windshield to fold down. I used male/female connectors...the wires come up the divers edge of the windshield frame just like the stock vacuum hose did and I utilized the stock keepers for the vacuum hose.
    The drivers side motor, I put the disconects about half way up the windshield frame...the passenger side, I put them a little past the driver side motor...so no sweat which goes where...then I put a male end and a female end on the wires from the motor, positive and negative, so that when one is plugging them back in, they only go one way...I think you understand?

    Unplug the 4 wires and down goes the windshield...upon lifting it up, the wires are "foolproof"...at least I havent screwed them up yet...and that says a lot.

    The case is fine - you just need to move the driveshaft over to the primary output - until you do that - you will not hear anything!

    Once you do, it will seem like a different truck. There should be a sticky on that somewhere.

    Swapping the rear driveshaft to the e-brake output doesn't affect anything else. Low range still works fine, and it still controlled the same way. All it does is take some stress off the gears by driving the rear axle directly instead of through the straight-cut, noisy gears.
