    I've only driven mine on the street for about 50 miles but they seem great other than pulling a tad to the right.

    Its a pretty common issue with them, there's a big STMaxx thread on here somewhere and a lot of people have mentioned that.

    My truck pulls right but for other reasons so I wouldn't know lol

    Well...besides my truck running almost 10˚ warmer, I'm happy the leak is fixed. I asked them to check my driveshaft/u-joints while they had it apart after dropping the trans, due to that metal-tapping-metal sound I was hearing going on and off the gas. According to them all u-joints and CB are in great shape, so I dunno wtf is causing that noise.

    Clutch was still at almost 60% life left so I opted to not have them change it, especially because they only had a couple cheap parts store options available that wouldn't require waiting days for delivery. Should get a few more years out of this one

    Yeah, I ran into that thread in my research. I was hoping I'd avoid the issue but alas. I'm installing SPC UCAs and going in for an alignment soon; will see if that helps at all.

    I'm just happy that they aren't crazy loud compared to my c-load 31in cooper at3 xlts I took off.

    A little cross caster in the alignment should compensate if its a constant pull

    This is how my alignment shop gets me by for the past year


    although it does make steering a little weird coming in/out of turns, but I probably have more cross caster than most to fix mine.

    they fucked up the tstat on the job and admitted it was mangled when they replaced. Changed the o2 sensors front and rear along with the tstat and she's been quiet since :notsure::notsure:

    Im sure the o2 sensors were fried from coolant going out the exhaust, got them replaced free tho so i didnt complain
