Dealer XXX assembled OME incorrectly will not stand by work.

Nope.

It's because the post is near unintelligible.

There's a dealer and a vendor and maybe a DIY lift kit, and someone to blame for something but who knows who is who or who did what.

 

Ah I see. So rather than just asking the OP to clarify, posting the Google Translator solved everything! lol

 

Another "Friday Thread" posted on a Thursday. Can we get the days straight guys?

Epic fall.

 

I'm only so invested in "help me help you".

 

I just took 5100s off the front of my truck to install 6112s. They've got probably 8000 miles on them. I will give them to you for free you just have to have them installed correctly along with your stock top hat. If that helps let me know I'm in SoCal it looks like you're in Arizona so I don't know if you ever come to the beach but if you want them their yours. Free now.
If you're coming this way or so you decide contact Superdave. He has a spring compressor and will probably be able to help you out.

You asked for opinions you got it then when you didn't like them you argue an act a douche.

Also you say you put on the shock then truck sat some 2 years cuz you drove a Focus. Then later you say shocks only have 20k miles mostly on Minnesota roads. So which is it? How much road salt they see during those 20k miles?

This shits on you, no the installer shouldn't warrantee it. The top hat shows that shock was clearly damaged for some time & with that bushing gone it was most certainly making some noise long before it failed.

You own it man so just move on & get both sides replaced with some quality FACTORY ASSEMBLED coilovers and continue on with your trip.

 

Those are certainly all words I guess.

 

OK here are some pics on assembly and washer being left out. I paid $150 for the OME springs to be assembled and top hats from vendor and they left out the washer in the pic with my finger. This washer was not there in the assembly from vendor. New OMME shock had two of these thick washers. The pic of me pointing to it is where the washer should have been and yes dust protector pushed into bushing (pic Included). Dust protector broke off and misaligned shock. Should vender be liable after 2 years?

 

Correct.

I had a lot of creaking and popping but blamed it on having the OME Engine Skid Tied into an after market Tranny Skid.

Bad thing know is drivers side needs to be done. I cant see up there with a flashlight so I will just replace shock anyway so the from is on a similar cycle.

I feel it stranded me as the cone or top of dust guard was not designed to hold this load. In theory I would think shock shaft could punch though cone and instead of going onto shock body it could be pushed straight up into engine bay. What do you think?

 

It took me several times reading the posts to understand. I still don't think I understand what is being said.

The translator was meant as a joke. I thought it was funny and no disrespect to the OP.

 

Sorry For that I guess I am currently homeless (If Living in a trailer in the middle of the desert is homeless). I have been doing doing a lot of work the trailer like solar panels new leaf springs and shock so my fingers do no text well and my computer is 7 years old.

I have been struggling with mental health issues. Its been a struggle getting help having just retired from the military and health insurance.

My Psychiatrist yesterday advised me to read or watch the Utube summary of the book "No more Mr Nice Guy." and from what my family is now telling me after some legal trouble looks like I will be getting a divorce.

My wife once made the comment about wondering how a veteran becomes homeless but I guess we now know. I have a house but my wife and kids are there and I can't live there anymore. My family advised me to take pictures of the place when I left. I will not go into more detail.

My doctor also talked about bi polar and PTSD which the VA denied and its hard for to fight that for certain reasons.

Anyways I paid the vendor $150 for assembly and simply installed that assembly. I have the Toyota XXXX (legal issue) and torqued the assembly according to Toyota during installation. Does this matter?

 

No problem thanks for that!

 

Man I wish you lived closer to me. I'd fix your suspension for free. Sorry you are going through these bad times. Life can be really cruel sometimes. Just know time heals and things get better if you let them.

 

I FRIDAY THE 13TH AND I BACK. all caps just for you.

 

Thx bro.

 

It was a joke. And my post was sarcasm befitting it. See my byline? I’m a curmudgeon. It’s my job. Now get off my lawn!

 

Its all good. I spent a month in the Mojave Preserve and some time at Joshua Tree where on a gravel rode when the shock went. I am currently south of Phoenix close to the kids until it gets hot and then who knows. I happened to park the trailer 50 yards from a Coyote den. I have been watching the young pups. The other day I was watching the pups 50 yards out maybe and I look right of the den 15 yards and there is mom watching me. They come sing at night. My dog does not react which is wired as he has seen the pups at 50 yards maybe closer and he found the den I had just walked 10 yards from but he knows they are not dogs. If he thought it was a dog he would run to them to play. I have seen a lot I would not have otherwise and mother does not drink or use drugs. she is just a narcissist I guess. My family is supportive. I am over 60 days sober.

 

I'm rooting for a 61st day of sobriety my friend. We are all on your side.

 

Bunch of sensitive fucks around here sometimes. Helluva time to be in the suck that's for sure but looks like you're on the right track to recovery. You need help getting into the VA let me know I've got friends that might be able to help you out. Who knows it is a crapshoot sometimes with the VA. Its like a woman some good days and a lot of bad.
Never Quit

 

It all matters.

Sincerely hope things improve for ya.
