Charlotte, NC area: hate on OP, houses, boats & hoes

I am down for an SOS sticker

 

Has anyone done the ECGS needle bearing replacement or have the tool? They want $160 to do it at their shop in Raleigh, but not sure if I want to drive all the way out there for a whole day.

 

no tool, but I do have the bushing I need to stick in sometime, sitting on my work bench..........

 

I'm gonna install my lift and hope it doesn't vibrate, until either someone A) has the tool or B) will do it cheaper than ECGS

I hate wrenching in the cold, so it may need to wait until spring anyway.

 

I have the tool.

 

Y'all need to all get together and maybe I could swing down there.

 

that be great, cuz u tim the toolman and have actually done it.

Who wants to watch me install my lift for me too? That's how mod days work, right?

 

Umm- Do I need the bushing?

 

According to the 3rd gen forum your truck will develop a death rattle if you don't, maybe it doesn't apply to 2nd gens

 

Dunno; Prolly the same part, lol. I think @JimboAnz is aporoaxhing 100k miles. I would say the OEM part is a win!

Hope mine last that long...

 

If the want shipping you can PayPal me and I'll pick it up.

 

yeah, some guys needed to replace it sooner, some later, some never.......I bought my bushing 20K ago. I dont think I have the vibe, but will switch it out when I get the chance.

 

Thanks; maybe another day. I need to learn more about it.

I may need to replace my fender flare- a body color piece broke off; and the trailer wire harness itself- (not just the bracket). Had to spend mony on my repair- and coupes bracket is otw.

I also have the huge order from @EddyRRT coming soon. I will soon have everything except ditch light brackets from him!

 

@Sandman614 You going to the Ale House on Saturday?

 

Nah I won't be there.

 

That is likely what I will do too.

Now I'm scared.

 

You should be. Your turd gen will rattle you to death and burst into flames if you don't replace it...
