Anyone here ever use the McChord Auto Center and know how busy it gets on the weekend? I've never been to the shop and wondering if they have all the tools and goodies I need to do a suspension swap + progressive aal so I don't have to make a harbor freight trip.

 

I believe they do. You dont really need anything special outside of jacks, wrenches, and sockets. And largish c-clamp for the leaf pack. @Kappes03 and @Skootter14 i believe have both used it before so they could answer more definitely though

 

I've been to only the one on the Army side however my guess is like most shops they'll have everything you need. You can pull ah engine in those shops

 

Driveline back in. Damage was only 187$ from Drivelines northwest for 3 u-joints and carrier bearing.

 

Awesome, thank you both!

 

For suspension, they SHOULD have everything you need. I’m currently in the army one installin a S/C. Started yesterday, better finish tomorrow haha. A guy beside me dropped the engine in his GTR this morning. You can also go on a day they are open to see first though. Now I’ll just call a day or two before if I need a different tool that I don’t have. The people aren’t very user friendly and can come off as rude. This is the worst one I’ve been to customer service -wise.

 

Can't be any ruder than the guys who were running the one at NASNI on Coronado. They were just straight assholes

 

BFT.




























Bout Fuckin Time

 

I don't know what your waiting for? You going urd or what?

 

Alrdy got that haha, bout 4 yrs now. That’s just how far I got today. Tomorrow is installing the intercooler, running hoses, reinstall rad and fan and of course the intake. Hopefully get the gauges wired tomorrow but idk

Also got the UCON with thermostat upgrade and changed out exhaust cam gears. And upgraded to a walbro 255 2 months ago

 

Go on, go on.

 

haha, I think that about maxes it out for the engine. Gonna run this set up and enjoy it...then upgrade pulley

 

Front bumper but that was because someone backed into me. The new suspension was first thing i actually bought.

Bradleys wifes grand cherokee blew an alternator and its recalled too so the whole system is dusted. We had to call off the trip to Ashford tonight.

 

Another shop fail.

Firestone Renton up on the hill did a differential service and left the rear fill plug loose.

....I just hope they torqued the bolts on the alignment.

 

I'm off the next 16 days. I want in on the next one!

That sucks! Brad was just saying he liked firestone
