NW WA Meet / BS Thread

They'd probably sell him a used one.

 

And call it primed, hence $5

 

Ultraguage said they don't sell the button pieces separate, it's part of the board. so I'd have to buy a new one.


If only they made a machine that could spit out little plastic copies of those buttons..... I'd be back in business.



I wonder .....

 

i dont know a lot about 3D printing, but i do know some things about resolution...and that’s a tiny little button...

 

I could pull a blob off mid print and I'd probably have what I need. I need to pull the case apart.

 

nice to see you here again. Did you roll through North Bend maybe a month ago and seen my standing on the corner? lol I thought I saw you.

 

Sure will! She mentioned crossing from Ellensberg some time. As well running trails with more people and rigs.

 

when doing the drain and fill method on an a/t how do you know you have it filled correctly? if i replace what i pump out its the same. what if it was low from the factory? want mine filled correctly.

 

No you need to run a small procedure to know it's at the proper level. Some transmissions came factory underfilled and overfilled. You need to either use a scan tool (or something like torque/scangauge with the pid) or out the truck in a special mode. Once the fluid is at the correct temperature you open a overfill plug and wait for it to be a small stream.
This thread covers it all

It's entirely possible you truck could be low from the factory, thousands of other owners have reported finding out theirs was incorrectly filled at the factory. I guess that's not on the PDI list for dealers.

The only way to know if yours is filled correctly is via the temp check procedure, which involves taking a paperclip/jumper wire and inserting it at 2 pins on the obdII port, shifting the shifter around between the gear range and waiting for the atf temp light to come on. You then remove the check plug to observe if a trickle or no atf comes out. If it's a trickle it's correct, if none, add untill it starts to come out and reinstall the check plug.

I'd imagine that if yours was low, with that supercharger and mods, you'd easily know by now.

 

pretty sure with him being supercharged if he was low from factory, he would know it by now.

 

I have a little Harbor Freight 6 ton bench top press, not sure if that will have the poop to do the rubber LCA bushings if that's what you are trying to do though.

 

Ugh, I had suppressed the memory of Meema in the lake, thanks for bringing that one back

 

With the money I'm saving not paying the dealership I could afford one of these bad boys.

Nice work! You're going to like the delta joints. I'm a few months ahead of you with all the suspension rework. I did the uniballs, bushings, and new CV axles on superbowl sunday.

This weekend I'm rebuilding/revalving my Icon coilovers and shocks. We'll see how that goes.

 

Did you get a different valving configuration?

 

I did! Called SDHQ and gave them some specs and told them what im feeling (when i hit a pothole its like a tank hit my truck) so they sent me what they think will help.

 

Nice! You'll have to let me know how you like it. Once I get mine on the truck I'll see how I feel about them. I'm interested to see what these ride like since I'm pretty sure they were wore the fuck out when I got them already.

 

For sure brother! Yeah I'm really excited to see if that helps the ride quality. Something I found out from SDHQ was that Icon only recommends like 1.2" max of threads showing on the coilovers. I have 1" on the passenger side, and 1.5" on the divers side.

 

I got some after market UCA’s and I’m planning on removing the bushings to drill and install some zerks thinking about maybe getting a ball joint press tool from an auto store
