Ya and that requires having to redo suspension but yes that would be the best route for sure!

 

Nothing looks damaged, but it sounds and feels like it's coming from the tranny so it's kinda hard to tell visually. I can definitely make it happen if I really rev up the engine and shift from first to second, but driving normally doesn't really reveal any issue. I just made an appointment for a local tranny shop to look at in the morning, I basically just want them to tell me if it's something I should take care of asap or not. From what I've read online, if the throwout or pilot bearing starts to go bad it's best to wait until it absolutely needs to be replaced since it requires so much labor (removing the trans). I'm mostly concerned about being out on the trail and having it go out on me when it's under a lot more stress.

 

@Nicklovin fight me hoe

The Mudrunner shall return eventually and kick ass. You'll see. Honestly, I'm glad its the broke POS it is. I wouldn't have learned half the things I did if I had a boringly reliable car like the Firebird in high school. Hell I'm still learning stuff on it. Probably would've never gotten around to learning an engine tear down without it. If you want to learn its the best way to do it I think. Best part is you have the advantage of keeping the prerunner, so if the 4x4 is side lined you can still go offroad if you really want to. Food for thought bro

 

That dont look too good

 

What happened

 

Yup no idea how long or how that happened.. or from what

 

Wish i new the size >.>

 

Ya that is what i was thinking its truck specific right, not shock specific ?

 

Cool thanks

 

Grade 8 + retorque to spec.

 

Good point. I thought about this as well: how does the exhaust look? Could you have cracked or pinched it?

 

Tried to lift it up see if i could get it to budge its really jammed up into the bed

 

Yeah you're gonna have to jack up the rear end at the trailer hitch to get the weight off the springs bruh.

 

Shit dont think my jack will go that high
Shoulda went more then 48" jack

 

Stackin blocks!

 

No help from my cuz ever

 

Exhaust looks fine, at least from what I've seen crawling around underneath it (which I've done a lot of since Monday's run). Nothing visually abnormal besides a few nice dents in the skids, and a couple scratches on one of my cats (not dented from impact though).

This morning I dropped my truck off at a local shop that has great reviews. The guy took it for a spin around the block (god damn my exhaust/headers sound sexy as hell haha) and when he pulled back into the shop he jumped out and immediately said that something wasn't right. He agreed it was coming from the trans but he needed to hold onto it for today, I should know more in a few hours.

 

hope everything is okay and fixable !! and if you ever get rid of your truck hahahahaha

I got dibs on your sc and headers

 

do you know if you pass smog with those headers?
