@SweetMiss you mentioned "the mystery sound A bearing went inside the front diff " was It like a intermittent grind/clunking sound
I got something going on right front wheel area I cant find thanks

 

if by right you mean driver side it could be the needle bearing. Not as common in 1st gens to go out as in 2nd gens. But can. ECGS sells a bushing and an install tool for it.

 

Nice thanks maybe I will. I’ll keep you posted. I heard this trucks are easy to steal? Did you add a kill switch or anything anti theft?

 

right side (passenger) that Bering is for Driver side CV axle needle bearing wish it was that simple have any other ideas ?
thanks

 

Anyone wanna live FaceTime of the events currently happening .




First gen related cause it helped me get here.

 

Kinda wondering if this is my issue

 

Awesome photo. Is there a cool story to go along with it?

 

Always

 

Scored a camper top off craigslist...FINALLY! These things are like a needle in a haystack.

 

what condition are your CVs?

is the noise speed dependent?

 

Thanks for the help fellas got the rear springs in and torqued. Gotta go to work but tomorrow shocks and break line and FucknA should be good. Rims get here Thursday and tires mounted friday.

 

1k on the axels
I only hear it at lower speeds

 

Constant or only when you’re coasting?

 

Yes they are...yes...they...are.

 

both

 

Took me over a year to finally find one that was super white- it's faded out too, just like my trucks paint, perfect match. Wish i could find a way to get some shine back in it.

 

For me it came to the point where I didn't even care what color it was, I was gonna line-x/rhino liner it. But I was lucky to find a silver one, miracle..

 

Not yet but I did order a new key/lock set for it. The old ignition works with any key, even a screw driver. Might add one when it warms up though.

 

I had to drive all the way to California to find one in super-white. And then, the week after I bought it, one came up on CL in Phoenix for $100 less.
