DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

Preferably a Saturday

 

Good Morning Everyone

 

Gonna need to fire up the big pit

 

Morning Maner

I forgot to mention Maner said he would cook up some good food for us to enjoy and I will be bringing some cold beverages.

This may be a good ideal. I've been needing to trim my bedsides a little more which meant I needed to pull the bed or rear bumper so I could get to it.

 

Sounds good to me

 

I'm willing to help if needed. Just gotta know when. I'd bring tools, but sounds like @Bigdaddy4760 has just about anything one might need.

 

Sounds good man. Overall we should be good on tools. Depending on what all is going on at once extra tools arent a bad thing so I'll be bringing all my truck tools plus any specialty tools I can think of that might be helpful/needed. The only tool I can think of that might be needed that I dont have is the needle bearing removal/install tool for the ecgs bearing install if we have time to get the front all done. Think you could bring that or I could grab it from you sometime between now and then? Its sounding like saturday 11th will be the day since thats when most people are free and able to help.

 

I can be there for the 11th! Would love to get my eyes and hands on some of those mods and see how it’s done.

 

Here’s Maner getting busy with my sliders and CMC yesterday. Turned out great. Had some maneuvering to do with the lift and fitting the sliders in but we got it done. Was glad to be the guinea pig. Also, truck got kinda high on the lift

 

I should be open that weekend and can bring it. As it gets closer, if something comes up where I might not make it, I'll get it to you or someone else who will be there.

 

Will keep you up dated.

Sounds good man thanks.

 

I havent had time to crawl under the truck yet, but is there any front suspension component on these things thats prone to wear out around 50k miles? Im getting an intermittent front end vibration around 65-75mph. I thought it might be the tires but it comes and goes. Tires should be a constant as per my experience.

 

ooof me too, mine seems more rear end maybe

 

Could it have anything to do with you running over those reindeer a few nights ago?

 

You were told to never speak of that again. ....

 

Some people pay good money for a rear end vibration.

 

thus,i have not fixed it yet.

 

Back from Washington! Suspension came in on saturday, installed yesterday! 600# springs are too soft so @Suprajim54 and I had to add another 1&1/2 inch preload just to keep the tires from rubbing(was more challenging than it needed to be). I have some new 700# springs on the way from summit! Should be here friday or monday.
Still need some secondary shock mounts to get the triple bypasses installed but that will be later.

 

I must say not that good..def not worth 12 bucks a 6 pack

 

What did you expect from pickle beer?
