1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I checked the preload on the front bearings and they are way way too tight. I suspect mud worked into the bearings and fried them. I have a buddy with a 2000 model that had that happen. We had been driving the same holes. He had to replace all bearings and races. I think the only reason I made it to and from Colorado is I had taken mine all apart the year before and regreased and reset everything.

 

I'm not the best mechanic but

 

Uh oh, what happened

 

I have a whole bunch of front end parts because it does need more castor, tie rod ends, and drag link ends... But damn I'm gonna be excited if the shocks help the DW in the mean time

 

Truck is not emo enough and refuses to bleed itself

 

I've had these shims for months but have been dragging ass installing them. I was waiting til I could do the whole front end but my alignment is bad and tires are shot so YOLO. The install isn't even bad, I just haven't been feeling it.

 

Sometimes the hardest part is just getting started. Been a few where I avoid a half hour job for months

 

Yes, exactly. I haven't touched the trucks much due to feeling overwhelmed with house stuff but there's some really basic things I can do yet.

 

Yeah thats how it be sometimes. Anything related to moving is a huge energy suck.

Helped a friend get packed up a few weeks ago and I've never known him to be that stressed out. There were some other really bad things going on, but moving wasn't helping in the least.

 

Can’t get Brake fluid to the front calipers

 

Yeah... I haven't been this stressed for years at this point.

I am super excited to move and get into a better place that will be a better lifestyle fit. Everything in between is stressy spaghetti

 

It seems like moving can line up with other big life events or bring up a lot of unresolved past ... It's awesome of you to help, I'm sure he appreciates it very much

 

These look prepared for a fight

 

I just like to help.

And he's a great friend.

The one from matco (bb70852) my shop had worked like a charm for clutches and brakes

 

Aw but you've got a molding there to keep you straight
