Dakota's Yota Build (Long Travel, Chevy 63s, and BS)

Oh... hmm. I drained mine a second time and it was just fine lol

 

Hmm.. Idk. If I had to use a pump i'd be tempted not to but its pretty easy so I think I'll just do them both just in case.

 

• Figure out headlights
• Change engine oil
• Reboot CVs
• Change front gear oil
• Remove rainbow stickers
• Clean, wax, undercoat for winter
• Remove driveshaft and get rebalanced/maybe retubed
• Install axle shims hopefully to fix vibes (ordered)
• Maybe band aid fix rear with a longer shackle? Nah fam
• Get some air bumps (eventually)
• Clean interior
• Powdercoat bed bars
• Fix backup camera (ordered new one)
• Replace reverse light (ordered)
• Softtopper on for winter
• Install new HID harness and ignitor
• Reinstall driveshaft

So I ordered these for Mr. Tac: https://www.theretrofitsource.com/led-lighting/led-bulbs/921-t15-morimoto-xb-led.html

And these for Lana because her reverse lights are at an angle so the projector is useless: https://www.theretrofitsource.com/led-lighting/led-bulbs/921-t15-acme-x.html

And so I was messing with my camera. Idk wtf is going on. When put in reverse it wouldn't pop up on my HU anymore. But there's a display option of just "camera" and in that mode when I put it in reverse it would change from "no signal" and just barely flicker on and work...

So I fucked wiht some stuff and disconnected and cleaned and checked power sources and now it won't work at all. Whatever I ordered this one. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005Q65ZIK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

On the bright side, shit is clean! And my headlights work again! And all fluids and filters are replaced. I was decently below the "Cold min" mark on my Power steering fluid too so I'm hoping that will also help out my steering whine @jberry813

 

That should help with the whine but you should just swap out the old fluid as well. My Infiniti was whining intermittently but was full, pulled all that old shitty fluid and replaced with new and no more noise

 

Just like turkey baste it out? I figured there's a lot in the lines...

 

Yeah or a small transfer pump. Drain fill, turn truck on and turn lock to lock for a bit and repeat drain full until happy

 

I gotchu cool thanks man!

 

Have you driven your truck to see if after washing your balls its gone away? I don't remember hearing it when you put it in the garage..

 

Lol nope.

 

I still think its that. I don't remember hearing it when you put it in the garage though..

 

This is what i plan to do. I have one of these things:



Suck out as much as i can. Top it back off. Start the truck. Cycle the wheels lock to lock 10 times. Suck some more out. Refill. Cycle lock to lock. Rinse and repeat until fluid looks clean.

My power steering fluid is as black as coal and has noticeable dirt in it...yet i have no apparent leaks. It smells like absolute death.

Long over due.

 

I hadn't cleaned them yet then

Guess I'm doing that lol

 

lol sucky. I'm waiting for the day my rack goes. Where does it leak from? Just like a seal on the rack itself?

 

This was my theory for oil in my old mustang. never did oil changes because I was always dumping another quart in there.

 

Back before i did the ECGS bushing, it had a leak. I put some lucas stop leak in it....then a couple weeks later did the bushing. Since then it has not moved on the sight level. Its just gotten completely putrid.

Might as well change it. Especially since it has a horrible hiss at full lock. PSSSHHHHH

 

Ford life.

 

Gross I've heard stop leak is the worst stuff for any scenario.

Ohh I gotcu.

 

At the time, i didn't care.

If it ends up needing a

then i'll put a rack in it.

 

how exactly did you use wire? I want to make mine but debating between one or two halos. and that demon eye is awesome!
