1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

After all these damn alignments I've been paying for in the past year trying to figure this crap out, not to mention parts replaced so far, I probably could pay for 40s and tons

Well, maybe just the 40s

 

I think your better off with the bent lower then a bent spindle. Let me know if you need an arm Ill bring it down in May. Picking this up on Sunday

 

I’ll be different


solos and 33’s

 

I'm not dropping $2k or whatever it is those things cost

 

1200 or something for the LCAS

 

Whats messed up is that beat up truck probably has intact lowers and yet somehow mine got bent lol.

 

I finally got my truck started. The Alternator fuse was the issue and my dad MacGyver'd a fuse cable. And I'm a dumbass who doesn't know anything.

And my dad is the best redneck mechanic that I know. And he made me type this and post it.

 

Its crazy what ever they hit. went directly in-between the frame rails. other than a dent on the front crossmember the frame is clean

 

Just dawned on me...I wonder if my LCA got bent when I creamed the side of my truck into that dirt wall that smashed my fender a couple years ago, that might explain it. Fell into a big rut that slid me sideways. Been dealing with this issue for almost that long, the timeline might sync up.

 

That’s a great idea. I’m probably gonna get like a Bunn commercial coffee maker and steal the heating elements and hot plate.

I am currently reverse engineering it. I understand why they had to do 120v 3ph 400hz now. That type of voltage for the heating elements flows through wires that are like 22gauge, super light.

 

sounds like you aren't a total idiot if you're learning new things

 

Does it need any kind of a pump? Normal coffee makers heat the water till it boils and then boils over through the basket and into the pot, but i don' see any hoses running through the heating plate.

Makes cents. How fast were you going when you hit it?

 

Not fast at all, just climbing a hill in 4lo. Maybe 5mph but it was a big rut and drop off to the side.

Was a hill I've done 100 times but this was just after a big storm and it was rutted like crazy, got over confident lol.

 

sounds like the rut grabbed the wheel and bent the arm

 

Ryan be like



Halp

 

could have yeah, especially it being a sideways pull...dunno if the parts are really engineered for that.

They didn't say which arm when I called, I'll find out when I pick it up. If it's the driver's side then I bet that was it.

 

That would say a lot about me and the shop that's been doing my alignments if no one saw that for 2 years

 

Maybe it’s just starting
