Who is their alignment shop? Last time I asked he said they use Big O

 

Dammit, I wish! Got a ride from them to the Lake Merrit Bart station. Just got to North Concord Bart where I stashed my work vehicle last night.

Whatcha doing Friday afternoon?

 

i need to learn and use the Jberry alignment method from now on.

 

Can't wait to see that beast on some Ray 10s!

 

So, did you fall for the trick before you noticed.

 

Beers with you, broski

 

No but what I was trying to do was figure out when he wrote it cause I read that same book to him 5-6 years ago.

 

Guess I'm not explaining it well. In neutral at a light, light turns green and put it into drive. If I don't wait about 5 seconds before giving any throttle, truck behaves like it's not in gear, then slowly eases in. If I wait 5-10 seconds, then give it gas, we go just fine (just with a clunk). Make any sense? I'm not loading up the torque converter or doing burn outs. Just going...

 

Call me crazy, and I love ray 10's, but your rig on these wheels is my fave!

 

The question is, why shift into neutral in an automatic?

 

yes big thumbs on little phone plus my A.D.D and bad spelling. im quick to push send and don't give 2 shits what yall think!

 

If I had to guess, you have two things happening here: clunk from a worn u-joint and slow shift into drive due to some unknown transmission issue. Miles on your truck?

^This. Stop doing that.

 

I pop into neutral because keeping in drive causes my dash to vibrate.

Truck has 71k, trans has 818 miles. It's a factory rebuild. The people who drove the truck from Utah to here blew it up somewhere around Donner Pass and continued to drive to Sacramento.

 

Well, you see how well it worked out for me. So intent on the Bold and the smaller font I hosed it up.

 

Shouldn't you just take it back to whoever did that for you?

Not sure if serious.

 

Yeah, that is on the agenda. Just wanted to see if it was a Tacoma thing.

 

I'll find out.
