Death Valley 2018: Day 4
You Don't See This Every Day


... around 1:00am, the wind got significantly colder, and we started
to feel moisture in the air. We didn't realize it at the time as
we zipped up the remaining windows, but the moisture we were feeling was snow...

So yeah - we went to Death Valley to escape the cold, and we got snowed on.

You don't see that every day.

The next time one of you drove your truck will you crawl under it, right after driving it across town or something, and see if the drive shaft is warm to the touch, not burn your fingers off hot, on both sides of carrier bearing?
Please and thank you.

 

Nope. Mine does not get hot. At east not in the middle. I'll check close to the cb.

 

Mine either JKO1998

 

I don’t know what the heck. Frustrating to say the least.

 

Got my drive line today from the shop new, u-joint, new carrier and balanced

 

did a thing this weekend









It actually pumps out a lot more bass than expected... worth it in my opinion:

$240 Kicker 11HS8 8” 150 Watt Hideaway Compact Car Audio Powered Subwoofer Sub HS8

https://www.amazon.com/Hideaway-Powered-Subwoofer-Enclosure-HS8/dp/B007LQWSYC

 

How’s much did they charge for the center bearing? If they charged them out seperately.

 

The parts were charged together

 

Oh. I’m about to roll my truck into a lake because of that (not really but it sounds good sometimes)

 

Just buy a new CB. Unless you are a mechanic, throwing parts at it is your best bet

 

I did this morning, so far so goodish, besides the warmth that shows up right by the bearing. Its a constant heat, it doesn't get hotter and hotter the farther its driven, just stays warm.

 

I'll check again for you and see if maybe I missed it i only drove for 8 miles ill let you know asap. Anything else you can tell us about your CB or drive shaft

 

Not really, I actually used a torque wrench today. Maybe there's nothing actually wrong and I'm just paranoid.

I have to drive 150ish miles later today so I guess Ill know for sure.

 

I had the same problem with hawk pads from the start, I tried removing the glaze and re doing the bedding procedure, nothing worked. Swapped to ebc and have been extremely happy.

 

The bass knobs are a life changer imo. My brother went without one for a while and had to go through a bunch of settings on his radio to adjust it.

 

If anyone has any leads on 1st gen driver side fender, flare, hood, and grille let me know before I start buying shit. Thanks. Closer to Texas the better.
Some extra pics

 

Post up on Facebook if you have it. I’m sure someone will know someone who has a cousin that has some parts.

Bigger audience.

My cheap eBay fendors fit pretty good, but you’ll have to paint it.

 

Looking for oem. Thanks.

 

Here is my very first post on TW. I have been a fan of TW for a while so I finally made an account.

Saturday I received my 33x10.50r15's in the mail. I got them mounted and balanced Saturday. Today I wired and installed 2 flush mount LED pods on the back of my tool box. I still need to do a little trimming on the lower valence of my bumper but I still drive it.
