I played with PB Blaster today. Dumped it down my heatercore "top" hose. Let it soak for a minute or so, then flushed it from both directions. Yay! I have heat! Then I changed my coolant and thermostat. Anybody know if PB is too harsh for a heater core? I'm not leaking but I don't want to do that again. I worried about turning my core into a sive, but I shy away from dismantling dash boards...
The thing that brought your heat back was not the PB, but the flushing of the heater core from both directions.
The widely accepted method is to drain the heater core, then fill it with water and CLR. Let sit for 5-10 mins and then flush from both directions. this breaks up/dissolves the mineral scale that builds up.

Changed the diff oil in the 4x2. I had every intention of pulling the shaft and finding out if it's a 27 or 29sp. But, I got started late. Then, I had a helluva time getting the old RTV gasket off the cover. It was the factory gasket and they laid it on kinda thick! But can you imagine, that oil's been in there for 14 years! It was clear, but kinda thin. Anyway, I had to use a wire brush on a drill to get all the old gasket off. At this point, it was getting too late to pull the axle, so I sealed her up and got the new oil in.
I figure I'm just going to follow everyone's advice and just swap the C8.25 over to the 4x4. At that point, I'll find out what I have so I can eventually order the proper locker & alloy shafts.
