Carolina Meet 17-19 April

ok.....i'll do the fog light mod for ya!! how about..................cleaning the throttle body and seafoaming?? make her run like brand spankin new!!

 

nah, I think priority number one is the harsh ride tsb, just printed it off and will be going in the am....hope it works out, may have to get a little nasty

 

you get that done............................awesome!!! then you'll want bilstein 5100's for the front to level the truck out a bit!!

 

ay captain, apparently I must have all the money in the world

 

really????? buy me some hunting land then dammit!!!

you can get the 5100's thru downsouth motorsports for a really good price and shipping...............they are a vendor here now!

 

my truck has been randomly popping ever since i put 5100's on it. they still pop all the time. i guess it's just my trucks way of saying its not happy with the lift. me turning the wheel all the way to the left an turning up the music is my way of saying, "get over it"

just out of curiosity, how long should cv's last at 2.5 to 3 inches with only occasional off roading and no diff drop?

 

Yea others have said that too but its weird that all this started when I put the UCA's on there and got it aligned. I have close to 30,000 miles on my truck with the lift, occasional off roading and the cv boots are still ok. I take that as the CV joints should be ok too!

could it really matter that I put the long uca bolt back in there the opposite way it came out? I dont think I could have gotten it back in on the drivers side like it was originaly.

I'm taking it in for a check up next week so hopefully they can tell me what the noise is. yea yea I know, I'll lube up first.

 

my popping is really random. i only hear it when i start to move after its been parked for a while. usually i only hear it when i turn the wheel, but not ever time i turn it. and occasionally it will pop when i am going straight. it's always a single pop and never a multiple string of them. i'm assuming this is normal after a lift. i understand my CV's will go out sooner than a stock truck but i think they are fine right now. i only have about 25k on the truck and i've only been lifted for about 10k

how much were the replacements?

i'm sure its not a serious problem. is it constant or really loud?

 

what kind of pb do you use to lube your balls?

 

really? i've heard failing cv's before and thats what this sounds like, but it doesn't follow failing cv behavior. now this is gonna bug me until i know what it is

haha! nice one

 

that was just the boot though right?

 

damn, now i'm gonna have to have someone help me figure out what it is, which is gonna be a pain since i cant recreate the noise on demand

 

no, you just have to watch out for branches

 

whats yates place? does that mean we will or will not have showers and bathrooms?
