Alabama thread!

Lol, this is true. And i sure dont stand around a do nothing to it lol.

 

Hey is that a jab at me and my camp trailer?

 

I wont be trading my truck on anything else. But if a diesel crate engine swap is in the works i want to know more lol.

 

08 and newer had a base engine that was a 4.6l. It replaced the 4.7. I hate just about all things GM.

Im on my 2nd can set up now. They work really well. I havnt smoked sinc .

 

Nope just trying to keep my bill from Trey down some

 

I’m thinking about taking my truck back to the shop and getting them to adjust the alignment, it’s rubbing on the driver side where I had finally fixed it. What numbers should I tell them I need?

 

Google is your friend.

Yes. The design of the EGR port in the valve cover allows oil to pour in it when tipped back and to the driver’s side.

 

1 degree negative camber.

 

I'm just being a smartass. I saw the trailer and not a stand around.......thought it was funny considering how long my trailer will take

 

You mean the PCV the EGR is on the exhaust. I guess the EGR could get oil to it if it filled the intake enough to dump into the intake side of the EGR.

 

So that’s all I should say? It needs pushed out from the firewall it’s rubbing hard there where it wasn’t anywhere near close.

 

Have fun, thought I’d let you know and invite you.

 

Yes I mean PCV. Got a cold that is kicking my ass.

 

Been welding basically every day working on my fill it and lap joint welds. Gonna weld some spots on my shock relocation and want to make sure I got the settings right and all. You know thickness of the frame and axle tube??

 

You need as much positive caster as you can get. camber has nothing to do with it unless you don't care that the camber is negative and out of spec to achieve the caster.
This is what I would tell them and how I have my alignment guy set mine up.

Get me as much positive caster as you can get, I don't care if the camber goes negative and is out of spec some as long as they are adjusted so that I don't get any drifting from road crown. Set toe dead middle to spec.

After your alignment tech does adjustments if he doesn't repeat a caster sweep he's not getting a true accurate reading of caster after making the adjustments as caster isn't a "live" measurement.

 

It depends on where it is rubbing, and mods you’ve done but negative 1 degree is for lift, 33s, and cmc.

 

Bout yay thick or so

 

It’s just rubbing on the driver side but I think it’s gotta be adjusted through the alignment cause it’s rubbing above the cab mount high so even if I tubbed it’d rub the cab mount if it was relocated.

It’s rubbing the body above the cab mount, I’ve cut the cab mount back folded pinch weld I’ve got 285/70r17 km3 on 17x9 -38 with ext. travel kings.

 

I cut this much and beat back all the way to it for 35s. I ordered energy cab mount bushings and am going to redo this area. Toyota drilled a hole that looks like I can rotate the bushing and drill another. That should eliminate any chance of hitting it under shock load. I haven’t rubbed it yet, but might as well do it since I’m replacing the bushings.
