But it does suck to break shit, seems like it doesn't break all at once but tend to (or at least for me) discover it all at once!

 

I wish I was a dumb motherfucker cause then I wouldn't discover half of this shit. But no, my smart ass fucking crawls under the truck planning out an engine cage and bigger, better motor mount gussets. Instead, I notice the fucking brake fluid.

The reservoir level is normal, I'm going to keep an eye on it. I used my e-brake (parked on a hill) today for the first time in a while, so I wonder if it has to do deal with that.

I'll have to wait until the weekend, or at least Thursday, to have time to take it apart.

 

So true, I crawl underneath my truck all the time & notice the littlest shit. I think there's a Lucas oil thing for that (have no idea if it actualy works tho).

Also, what Motor mount gussets are you running?!

 

Just ones I had a shop make after breaking the motor mount the first time. They're really basic, but I was in a bind and needed the truck back ASAP. Well it actually didn't break the mount, it pushed the mount through the frame.

yep... and 100 more than he is asking for them normally. hahahahaha. heap of shit kit man.

 

Always wondered if you know, did he design it ? Or did he copy someone elses?

 

I was told he copied TC or Burg

 

You sure its not that you sprung a leak on an axle shaft seal? If your brake fluid is normal level it may be Diff fluid. Mine has been leaking for almost a year, havnt fixed it because it si the inner seal and is pressed on. Dont want to pay somebody to do it since apparently it takes a special tool of some sort.

This week I had to replace an alternator, PS Pump, Steering Rack (with all the tierod ends), lower BJ's, and my windshield is broken. I feel your pain man. I almost said fuck it and went and bought a 1000.00 civic to get to work while the truck sits in driveway. But we do this because we enjoy it. So much in fact that I was pulling my steering rack until 1130 last night and will be installing new one tonight. Thank god my dad loaned me his Taco for the week.

 

Call fiberwerx directly

 

Yea, the more I think about it that is probably it. I'm going to pop the wheel off today and get in there and see what is going on.

I'm already planning on buying a 2500 level truck as soon as it is financially "safe" to do so for me (I could go buy one right now, but it wouldn't be a smart move). That way I have a bone stock DD and a vehicle I can tow the truck to the dirt with.

 

here ya go zach

the "O" level pay grades are a little nicer huh? lol

 

Yes they are.

Although if I was a single E-4 living in the barracks, $1800 out of the $2,000 a month I'd be making would be going into the truck.
