South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

Please don’t let mine end up like this
We’re finally getting around to do mine this weekend.

 

Sweet lord it might be worth taking that Jewel to a shop...

 

Yeah me too lol. Had my 2000 Ranger but it was a 4x2 4 cylinder 5 speed manual. It was my first truck

 

Amazing day surfing today. Huge waves. Got pounded good a few times. Got barreled.

 

Ooo mine was a v6 automatic.. stepside and it took her all over
. Went offroading all the time.. was like.a road legal 4wheeler

 

Pry bar in between the diff and inner joint cup give it some quick jars prying the axle out. Putting constant pressure on the c-clip that holds the axle in usually doesn't work.

 

Next time take the dust cap off gain access to the nut through the wheel and loosen it while the truck is on the ground. Also add some pipe to the end of your breaker bar.

 

Yeah I finally got it with a pry bar. Just like to be stupidly creative sometimes I guess.

Check out the diff side of the CV. Thoughts on this?

 

Too much light reflection what am I looking at the scuffs on the c-clip seem normal.

 

Looks to be in decent shape. I expected to see some damage from the worn bearing

 

Nice. I've been looking for a cheap daily myself.

 

Looks normal to me. The axle engages into the outer spider gears within the differential and is supported by the diff. and other gears. The bearing that the axle rides on is just to the left of those splines. You would have major issues if you saw damage done to the splines of the axle because that bearing failed. Like damage to the diff housing, seal, spider gears etc.

 

I haven't seen a deal like that for a truck in forever. Trucks are like motorcycles and little jon boats around here. If you have one in decent shape that runs and drives then expect to pay at least 1000 bucks no mater the age or mileage. So did you get rid of the stang already?

 

Lol, look at the picture closely.

 

Looks in decent shape...how’s it run? Interior decent too?

 

Damn I missed that bright orange thing . I was more distracted by the steal of a deal on a truck even though it does have a minivan motor. Guess @PvilleJohn is practicing driving trucks with a minivan engine

 

That’s what I was looking at to make sure. Wanted someone that’s looked at it before to reassure me. Thanks. I don’t even have the new bearing in yet. Multi day project

 

Way too good a deal to pass on lol. I really didn’t want a Ranger but hey, a beater Taco is like 4500 haha

 

No sir, keeping the stang. Just wanted a decent little daily to keep miles off the car. Plus I’m gonna try and flip it to get an older Tacoma

 

Runs a lil rough, it sat for a while during the transmission rebuild. Im hoping a good tune up / fuel system flush might remedy that.

Interior needs a good cleaning but other than that it’s good. No rips or tears in the seats
