Alabama thread!

The Sammies always reminded me of a mini LR. It's gonna be a bad bitch when you finish.

 

I hope so, the guys I ride with just walk up things I have to really work hard at and most of the time cant do.

 

Will all your stuff be better or the same as theirs afterwards?

 

Fresh rebuild on these. Who needs new shocks!? Discounted rate for anyone in here.

 

Be about in the middle, it will probably be better than I will be willing to push it, lol

 

Sup Trey

Will you still be able to drive it up the road if you wanted?

Same ole same ole...……..waiting on 7am

 

Yes but not sure how fast it will run. Regeared to 5.29s and going to 39x13.5x17 tires, I just hope it can do 50, lol

 

It's gonna be sweet when you finish

 

I hope, it's going to be a lot of work and time.

 

Having an issue with the truck. I have been noticing a shaking in the cab at 45mph, got the tires balanced and that helped. I was pulling my empty trailer this morning and at 45mph it damn near had me bouncing out of my seat. Thinking driveline, but not sure where to start. It’s not a small, quick vibration this is like I’m driving on large oval shaped wheels, but only at 45mph

 

You guys have a blessed Good Friday and Happy Easter! Beautiful weather the next few days!

From AlabamaWX

COLD APRIL MORNING: Here are some temperatures across Alabama just before sunrise this morning…

Weaver 28
Fort Payne 29

Decatur 30
Hueytown 30
Haleyville 31
Huntsville 31
Birmingham 32
Scottsboro 32
Tuscaloosa 34
Anniston 35

A north wind of around 4-8 mph persists; that kept temperatures a little warmer than forecast (the wind was expected to be calm).

Today will be sunny with a high between 57 and 60 degrees; the average high for Birmingham on April 2 is 71. Tonight will be clear and cold again… some spots could see another freeze early tomorrow. We are forecasting lows in the 28-36 degree range.

Sunny weather continues over the Easter weekend, and a warming trend begins. The high tomorrow will in the mid 60s, followed by low 70s Sunday.

NEXT WEEK: The warm-up continues… afternoon temperatures will be close to 80 degrees by Tuesday and Wednesday. The first half of the week will be dry; global models suggest showers and thunderstorms will return Thursday. For now it doesn’t look like a severe weather setup, but this is April in Alabama, and we will keep an eye on forecast parameters as we get closer to the event. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.



ON THIS DATE IN 1957: An F3 tornado tore through Dallas, TX. Ten people were killed, and 216 were injured. Total damage was $1.5 million. This tornado was among the most photographed and studied in history.

ON THIS DATE IN 1982: Severe thunderstorms spawned fifty-six tornadoes in the central U.S., including seventeen in the Red River Region of Texas and Oklahoma. The tornadoes claimed thirty lives and injured 383 other persons. A violent tornado near Messer, Oklahoma left only the carpet tack strips on the slab of a house it destroyed and carried a motel sign thirty miles.

 

Wheel bearing or ujoint maybe

 

Mine did that. My driveshaft went out of balance and it was only between 45-70 felt very similar to what your saying. Could also be u joints or carrier bearing. check joints and carrier first for extra play. If it seems normal take to driveline shop and get them to check balance. I ended up replacing the whole driveshaft

 

was it newts? Thats where ive taken my truck before

 

Unfortunately not. The singles and twins have been really hard to get

 

wiggled everything under the truck hard but no movement in the ujoints and carrier bearing felt normal. I’ve heard a whistle with the window down at slow speeds before...maybe 50k on the u joints and carrier bearing, original rear bearings at 150k

 

No, the name is literally “the exhaust shop” lol

 

Chock the wheel and put it in neutral so there is no tension on the drive line. If there is a lot of tension nothing will move. Also jack up each tire, grab each side and try to move it back and forth, the grab the top and bottom and do the same.
