Oregon and Washington BS thread

Are you rebuilding your camburgs? Or getting rid of them all together? When are you planning on doing the swap

 

That's total. Youd have the same output as an acura tl.

 

So... think I figured out why my fitting was leaking on the High Pressure Oil Pump.

Took a socket wrench to the fittings, they come out without hardly any effort at all. :O

These fittings hold back 3000 PSI, why the hell should I be able to easily remove them? No signs of thread locker and the o-rings were pretty much blown to hell.

Wondering if this was a replacement pump or if Ford didn't assemble them quite correctly.

The re-assembly instructions include 25 ft-lbs of torque and green loctite. That sounds more like a setup ready for 3000 PSI.

 

No, getting rid of them sons of bitches. Going with spacers and blocks, brah

 

Seriously?

 

Kidding. My Camburgs are pretty done for IMO. 50K+ miles on them, they ride rough. Almost as if they don't compress lol just needs to be rebuilt in the near future. I need new set of AAL and rear shocks as well.

 

This is true. Using the truck is much faster and safer.

 

Makes sense.

We should see if we could get an AllPro spring group buy for the area

 

I saw yesterday that the previous owner of the OEM shocks already loosen the nuts on the top plate and I can take off the three nuts with my hand. Only thing still bolted up is the shock itself if that make sense

That would be nice but I don't think we have much active member/interest for it.

 

I'm looking at a different route first. If it doesn't work out, I'm thinking dakars are best...?

 

x2

 

Thank god no one relied to what u said in the first response about the three nut on top. I went back in to work and thought about it, said to myself "wow, I'm an idiot.".

Mike, Robb - Dakars? I thought about that but 99.9% of the times my bed is empty. I thought about the wheelers off road heavy duty aal.

 

Me too, that is why I think the AllPro Standards or the Deavers would be a better option for me

You guys always have weight in the back though, don't you?

 

Joe - I have a slight sag with that aal
Mitch - I rarely run more than an oversize spare, hi lift, recovery gear, and shovel.

 

How much do you think that all weighs?

 

spare is 80
snow chains are 20
hi lift chains are 55
hi lift is about 30 (from online quote)
totally doing a WAG on the recovery box at 125
shovel is negligible

so that's 310.

Unweighted I'm 32" in front, 32 1/8" rear (measured from bottom of rim to flare lip). I thought I was much worse off, so maybe front settled a bit. Maybe all I need is the shackle flip after all.

 

I'm in love with Hard Rock soap. I smell like a damn sexy man.

Now I just need... everything else.
crap.

 

What in the world is a Hard Rock soap? Caveman style?

Trying to convice my brother not to get a spacer/block lift and to get bilstein 5100+aal. I think he's set on spacer/blocks.

 

I have spacer/block. Ill punch him in the throat if he gets em. Ride sucks, the blocks kill the leafs. Worthless!!!

 

LOL why the throat and not the ear? Yeah, I'm trying really hard to persuad him and I tell him it's a easy install but he said he would rather have Toyota do it
