San Antonio

Good O! Ruben. Just finished some good chicken "soup" and quesadilla! Learning like a sponge tonight!

 

Very good sir! Thank you!

 

Having some fun racing a Prius he was cheating

 

And good evening Robert!

 

Lol did he take off on you?

 

Good evening Kurt! Whats going on

 

@Kolunatic , how you feel about this? I don't know if you are lifted or not.....

 

Edumaction!

 

I think he switched over to power mode cause my vacuum cleaner took some time to kick in

 

Whatcha learning about sir?

 

It's pretty cool cause your running on electric motors and when the engine comes on it sounds like your turning on a wet/dry vac I think he was pushing at least a 2 in a half horse

 

Well, what you just told me, differences in ride height with various equipment, and that 2WD trucks won't be the same as what 4WD trucks in terms of what gets thrown at them....
Long story short - my Ball Joints apparently heard about everyone elses this week. The shocks were new (stock, Monroe) that went in November. This weekend coming home from C&C, I am hearing and feeling some banging and clunking if I hit a small pot hole. Nothing serious, just wasn't there before. Ride is wonderful otherwise - bounce and rebound fine, no leaks, no banging except then. Figure new stuff has made the old stuff start to go, and no records in my Toyota on line or Carfax records. So, Matt helps me with a BOM, and eventually everything that is front steering or suspension except the shocks will go. All greasable fittings. Going to CCC to do the work when it all comes.
Well, you know you can't talk about Mods around here without

 

I smell a mod day.

@LostHusker @MattCowsmasher

@BuzzMor, wanna help supervise again?

 

this place has been HOPPING the past week!

 

I'll be ready forsf week of March

 

Thats awesome i can only imagine how it sounds lol. Is it very loud?

How many miles on your truck sir? And how do the boots on your ball joints look? Im thinking i may be due for some lowers on my truck pretty soon. 245k on the originals

 

Actually, everything under there really looks good, for the 194K it just made. And since Chris did the shocks in November, and mentioned that everything really looked good, and I have had the frame and rear springs inspected at Toyota, all comments have been positive. But, this is a new clunk/bang that is only when I hit a bump, and I remember long ago on that Dodge, I did the shocks my self, and shortly after, I was having an alignment done, and they said they would not even do it because all these other component were so worn. Not having resources, they did, and it was fine.
My simple mechanical theory is that you can't just do one thing. Fixing the shocks put more stress somewhere else, and finding no records at all, my brain says it's time for everything!

 

Perhaps been getting a game plan for my rear end setup 2.0

 

It sounds like a vacuum cleaner I was playing last night and I turned off the tsc and put it in power mode and floored it at a stop sign never got it to hook up just kept on spinning I had to let off the gas to get rolling of course the road was wet I think I went through at least 2500 miles worth of tire in one sitting
