    Installed new gears 4.56 from ECGS. swapped out prebuilt diffs. I now have a wobble like a tire out of balance. most noticeable from 40-45 but not isolated to that speed. You can see it in the steering wheel when you let go. Tires were road force balanced yesterday issue still there. Any advice. Maybe point me to the right person to ask. Thanks,

    Everything looks correct I will get under there this weekend and do some digging. But a good place to start. Thanks,

    last day to either freeze or toss your leftover turkey.
    Or possibly toss your cookies if you go a few more days.

    I turned mine into a turkey pot pie (no bottom crust, they never cook well), baked it again and it'll set for another few days in the fridge.

    I removed the busted Smittybilt compressor Saturday before operation toasted taco took place and replaced it with a cheap harbor freight unit, which is working fine but a little slow.

    Decided to take the Smittybilt apart to see what broke.
    The motor and shaft are fine, this part still runs smooth.
    The bearing on the end is for the piston connecting rod and it turns smooth and free.

    And the connecting rod.

    the piston, which was not seized and still moves air when operated by hand.

    I don't have a clue as to why the thing came apart like that.

    In the little thread preview window, when you're looking at the entire Colorado forum, that picture looks like dog vomit.

    Why? Did you buy one?
