Orange County CAF's: up to no good

Was able to get my truck moving, installed the UCAs and the coilovers, but something is definitely not right, getting weird sounds being produced and it doesn't feel right when driving, can't go more then 40 without it feeling that it's going to fall apart. Not sure what I'm going to do that this point since I commute for work every morning

 

I like having clean battery posts, LOL!!!

 

That sounds like that particular area where you have to stay to the inside left/hug and stay on the gas pedal before making the right turn to go up a hill.If so that area is narrow,very rocky with some deep ruts.Nick @Nicklovin may be able to chime in and remember if that's the area.Nick had to back up and if i hadn't yelled out the window to say stop he could of possibly slid down the hillside.He got briefly stuck by digging in his passenger rear tire on the edge of the hillside.Jared @Papa Taco yanked/tugged him out.

 

Hey Randy, I know you've posted it before.... But what was your method for getting rid of the terminal corrosion? Mine are fuckin horrible... I should probably just get a new set up. But I'd like to clean them and make it last a bIt longer

 

If your still around the area I can meet you, But yea definitely get that check out and fix it asap

 

haha "slather"

 

I'm going to take it to signature wheel and tire real quick to see if they can figure out what the problem is. They can't fix it today so I'm just hoping for some indication of what's going on so I can maybe fix it. I will keep you up to date. Thanks

 

Thanks Johnston! I'll try that out

haha slather and Vaseline shouldn't be used in the same sentence around this site

 

LOL, that is probably the area because that is about what I ended up doing. Once I knew I had "grip", I just kept on the gas!!!

I have 4wd, but with open diff and my tires are "pizza cutters" compared to the larger "foot print" of 31 10.50's!!! I like my tires, but when I get a chance, I plan on getting 31 10.50's and maybe 7.5in or so rims. I just can't do that right now as you already know.

I wish you could have gone Ron!!! And yeah, I feel bad for doing that to @SocalOC Antonio That section F'N SUCKED A$$ for me!!!

Btw, I even tried "crawling slowly", but that section was just too much loose dirt/rock and rutts and I just simply couldn't get any grip no matter how slow I would go... it would just dig itself in!!!

 

"Ghost in the Shell" worth seeing? Big fan of the anime. Should I wait for it on HBO?

 

I have NO SHAME!!!

 

Good to know. Think I'll see "Logan" instead.

 

I was disappointed.Even seeing the preview's in the theater before watching other movies recently i had pretty much told myself to just wait for it to end up in the Redbox.Ended up going to see it and like i said not impressed.

 

No harm no foul... i was more worried about you falling off the edge when.you were backing up

 

It is definitely good but i wanted another hr's worth more of the movie!Some more detail and information!Don't want to give away to much info for those who haven't seen it yet!

I'm looking forward to June and the new "Wonder Woman"!

 

I had a good view .. let me tell me he didnt air down and he was just gunning it full throtle.... my poor truck

 

@YotaGurlIAm Madison, or you can mix the two together as well, which is what I do. I like to use hot water (not boiling, but fairly hot) and the Arm & Hammer Baking Soda.

So, say like:
1) a pitcher full of hot water (slightly above lukewarm I guess is the best way I can describe it and what I do)
2) put in 3-4x, maybe even 5x table spoons and mix/stir
3) then poor over the corrosion
4) let it finish "fizzling", and repeat. (NOTE: make sure to constantly "mix" the solution each time to get pretty good results)
5) DO THIS until NO MORE fizzling!!!
6) Then, if you have an old toothbrush, put some Vaseline and/or dieletric grease on your terminals and on the exposed battery wires as well.
7) It looks like shi* at first (NOTE: I glob it on there pretty good), but let the engine bay heat "melt" it and it looks like a shiny coat.

I've done this for YEARS and have never had any issues!!! As a matter of fact, once I do this to a battery, it will go through its entire life and never have battery corrosion. The battery corrosion is BAD for many different reasons and it, most definitely, does NOT help having shi**y battery terminals with corrosion as it makes it that much harder for your system to recharge the battery.

Hope this helps you Madison?

Btw, again, I have NO SHAME!!!

@itaro Johnston, wanna help me with @icetreye Kevin's next week, LOL!!! I don't even want to imagine what you will be saying, LMAO!!! Bring your "music" and we can play it while I work on Kevin's battery. LOL!!!

Yeah, I was aired down, BUT Can you guess the 2nd part, LMFAO!!! Why Danny, F'N WHY didn't I think about that?????!!!!!!

OMFGosh BRO!!! Okay, so let me correct myself and rephrase, "I didn't do everything I learned from past experiences and what I've learned from other people in the past"!!!

Hey, at least I'm NOT a chickenshi* like some and admit to my mistakes!!! Yeah Danny, I could have used you at that spot, LMAO!!!

I did try going slow though, but yeah, 4low WOULD have obviously been better, it just never occurred to me!!! Well, I still consider myself a newb and this shows it!!!

Anyways, lesson learned and VERY WELL NOTED!!! LOL!!! Thank you Danny
