1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I guess I can’t say it rides better, that’s just the internet in me speaking.

but they’re lighter also is the main reason I feel like I stick rock them, besides being cheap

 

Yeah I've figured as much.

There are some people that are very sensitive to E rated tires it seems....

Good point on the exhaust drone

 

Those poor michelins

 

With the race pipe on my 6.7 I think the exhaust sounds good overall but there is a bit of drone right at 15-1700 RPM if I'm paying attention to it. Some boomers in the FB groups make it sound like it's as loud as a NASCAR in the cab and it's unbearable to them

 

@Wulf

Running different tunes for your truck?

 

Yeah, I have 4 files from + 60hp tow, 100hp street, 150hp performance, and 210hp extreme

I usually just run around in street or two. Extreme is fun if I'm in a mood and want to play around but street is pretty fawking quick as it is for an 8k vehicle

@Kwikvette in regards to that other thread, when I first installed my lift, I put brand new Moog coil springs on the second notch of some 5100's. Gave me like 3.5" of lift. Balljoint was sketch, CV boots were gonna be trashed if I drove it etc.




Ended up putting the Moogs on the bottom notch (still got like 1.5", maybe I bought V6 coils by mistake ) until I was able to get some OME 880's for my birthday.

 

So he's 2wd so no damage to non existent cv axles.

The ball joints though, they must be under some severe tension.

 

Yes cause he's basically at full droop all the time or close to it.

He comes off as the kind of guy drop bracket lifts were made for. Just wants to go as high as he can. Nothing wrong with that, just gotta do it in the smartest way possible.

 

He really does you're right.

Worst part is he can just get a decent suspension lift at 2" but instead he wants to go as high as possible.

 

thx but pass. Have 1 extra set which I was planning on doing in White. No idea when that'll happen. Don't need another set. 2 is enough. Still have no idea why you had issues with those center caps

 

She hasn't been talking to you much aside from this favor right?

 

Welcome to the money pit known as rc cars.

 

Putting myself in time out so I don't break anything

Can't get the fucking wheel studs to pull through the hub, alternated between BFH on the back of stud and running a nut on the stud with an impact.

Fine, I'll switch to something else. Can't get the tensioner for the PS pump spins loose but it's not actually releasing tension from the belt. Fucking damnit

Correct.

I'm already done and at Safeway getting myself some stuff but what's funny is, as soon as I texted her that it was done, she asked me for an additional favor. She asked if I can diagnose the squeaking in her vehicle.

 

Run a bit but reduce the friction on the nut bottom. I use grease and an old axle nut to torque on

 

The first one is always an opener....
