1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I think they just require each manufacturer to give them some kind of documentation that they acknowledge Prop 65 before they'll ship their products to CA, and they just haven't gotten anything from those that we get that notification on. Just Rockauto's way of covering their own ass in case something comes of it.

 

I don't know what the deal is. I clicked on quite a few parts, like $12 ball joints from places I've never heard of and there weren't any restrictions on those. Seems pretty random....

 

Anyone using $12 ball joints should be required to paint their wheels bright green or something so I know to stay far away from them on the road lol

 

If anything, THAT is what CA should restrict you from buying here, lol

 

Had same thoughts man. Been there done that too... Put your heart and soul into something (as a high schooler, no less) and boom.... It's gone. Life lesson on what really ends up mattering in long run. Your TACO! I mean health and family

 

Any critical piece of suspension/steering hardware that keeps you going down the highway straight should cost at least... $20...

Wait, are you talking about the "crooked" kind of "not straight" or the other kind of "not straight"??

 

ibtl

 

wut

you're gunna have to type that out. I'm old and don't know what that means, lol

 

In before the lock

Is how I read it

I was referring to "bent" not sure where your dirty mind was going with that.

sheesh...

(this thread has survived far worse than that, lol)

 

Pretty sure Ive located my leaf squeak to be the leaf spring bushings on the shackle side. Gonna have a friend come over to help me pinpoint it, but best I can tell by myself thats it. If it is the issue, since these are aftermarket springs, no other bushings will work. So my only option is to pop them out and regrease then reinstall. Should be able to do it without even jacking the truck up hopefully.

 

I tried doing that when I swapped bushings over to greasable ones and it was a major pain the ass if not impossible to line them back up again, honestly I don't remember if I ended up having to use the floor jack under the diff but I do remember struggling hard to push the leafs down and line them up with the shackle. They immediately snap upward into the bottom of the bed once you take that bolt out. I finally got it in place with a lot of pry bar action and some muscle.

I was also fighting against the stiffness of the Expos so yours should be easier than mine

 

Other option, link it.


No leaf springs no problem

 

poly bushing? slather that bad boy in lithium grease inside and out and hope it goes away

 

Yep, it’s Injector 4. When you try to crank the engine you can see fuel squirting from the ‘O’ Ring on the fuel rail.

That’s preventing me from getting good fuel pressure which is why it won’t start.

 

Hard to fix?

 

No, relatively simple. Just have to replace that ‘O’ Ring.

Issue is it’s pouring rain right now, I’ll probably set up the canopy later.
