The Lair

I see what the problem is there Randy. No EAF point category!

 

That would have pushed me over the top for sure!

 

A 25!? Did you bubble a penis in on your answer sheet!?

 

Did you see that I scored in the first percentile?? That takes some serious skill.

 

Yea I saw. A guy I took the chiefs test with forgot to answer the PMK section and failed it.

 

when you regear, you will need 85-140. For front diff and rear. Tcase can still use this weight

 

It's like snake oil to me personally if you get a good quality oil then you don't need that crap. The only additive I'd use would be a ZDP which is only needed on old school flat tappet style cams and only if you don't buy a oil specifically engineered for that. The new oils as long as you buy a decent quality one that meets or exceeds what the manufacturer recc. then you are golden. The only other additive I've used is a water wetter additive it makes coolant/water have a better heat transfer from the engine to the water by increasing surface tension of water.

 

I am learning so much in here! "fml" I should have that tattooed on my forehead.

 

T case and front dif @Redmann

 

When you do that you should get some tear drops out of the corner of your eye as well

 

waaaaiitt!!! I may have something

 

so in the near future I am putting new LCA's on and TC gusseted cam tabs. anything I should consider doing while I have the LCA's sitting in my living room?

 

You could do what crom did and plug all the holes in it with a welder.

 

Cam bolts! and anti-seize on them where they go through the bushing. Hub bearings if they are loose. check your tie rods. Grease stuff if you have greasable joints. It's always good to do a thorough pre-flight inspection of stuff and replace stuff before it gets really bad.

 

I have a set of cam tab gussets and new cam tab bolts and eccentrics that will be going on hopefully soon. Didn't think about the anti-seize. What kind of LCA bushings have you seen for our trucks? Mine are squeaking pretty bad. I was considering buying a auto-store set of LCAs and rebuilding my OEM lcas. I cant have downtime as it's my DD.

 

Also, how do I know if hub bearing are bad?

 

wiggle it top to bottom.

yeah I will probably do that thanks!

yeah I will be buying all new cam hardware as part of the LCA's build lol mine are seized which is why I now need new tabs, long story lol but yeah I already replaced my sway bar end links and have purchased brand new tie rod ends but mine are fine. wheel bearings are still good to go. everything was checked and greased while I was doing my list install. ani seized everything too hahaha

 

A quick search found some Energy suspension LCA bushings those are good quality high durometer urethane type bushings. Where the cam bolts seize is to the bushing sleeve by putting a thin coating of anti seize on them helps prevent this from happening. If you are lifted the squeak could be coming from the springs I know my 6112s with the toytec top hats make all kinds of ruckus since there is no rummer isolators from the springs and perches.

Hub bearings are easy either there will be play or making a roaring noise.
