Alabama thread!

So I was diving into my rear axle shim thing yesterday, and got the ubolts off and ready to go, and pulled one of the blocks, and them bitches are tapered. I had them in backwards, both, somehow. a consistent fuck up. I spun them around, and put it all back together. vibes seem gone, will give it a week and see for sure.

they are 1.5" blocks, and the big end is 1/8 - 3/16 bigger did not even pay attention to that when I put them in.

 

Morning

 

What's up fellas ? New member here. Enterprise, Al. Was looking for some input here, I have a 04 3.4l v6 4x4 with 283k recently had the trans rebuilt like a week ago, new upper and lower bjs, new coil packs, ngk plugs and wires, new rear u joint and few others, timing belt recent as well. Truck is still riding a little rough. Any suggestions ?

 

Shocks.

 

Riding rough as in engine running rough or physically the ride is rough/stiff?

 

Physically rough, engine us surprisingly smooth with almost 300k from what I've read/researched possibly carrier bearing too ?

 

Lol. Glad you got it figured out and was (hopefully) an easy fix.

 

might be worth checking the carrier bearing/ujoints. I would also look into suspension components, are you on stock suspension?

 

I was also wondering if you guys could point me in the right direction for my dome light out and my dash lights are out. Recently paid my truck off and want to keep it for the long run so want to keep her running good. Any helpful tips or mods that's you guys suggest on a first would be great

 

Is the roughness coming from the front or rear of the truck?

that's probably just replacing the LEDs, should be fairly simple.

 

haha, yep, this go around was easy.

 

boys I'm about to head home. stomach is TORE UP, from what I don't know....been having issues the past few weeks on occasions and getting afraid I might be developing IBS or something...

 

From someone that has it, IBS is a pain in the ass until you figure out what triggers it.

 

Did you figure yours out? Take medicine?

 

Was that on purpose?

 

HAHA. no. good catch.

 

I used to take a lot (mainly when I was bigger). But after I lost the weight I did and started eating better, i just cut all of the medications out. I discovered that really greasy food, sugar alcohols (malitol and sorbitol mainly) and real sugar are what mess me up. After becoming aware of what irritates me, I no longer have issues.

 

Did you just start keeping track of everything? Also, did you actually visit a doctor for a disgnosis?
