Run to the Hills! - Jason's Completely Stalled Colorado GTFO Build

Thanks for he heads up, Brian. I wasn’t too worried about the tire wear with it not being my daily driver, but I don’t like the idea of inducing scrub issues as well. I got greedy with caster and probably shouldn’t have.

 

I cant remember what numbers we got on @SilverGhost. I want to say we stayed around -.5° camber with similar caster numbers. I was thinking with LT numbers close to 5° caster was possible with close to stock camber

 

Do you still do alignments?

 

In a couple weeks I could. They cut off all side work in the shop because they used it as one of the excuses to let a poor performer go. I was told to hold off for a while.

 

What arms are you running? I thought you were LT but I just read you're mid travel

 

Thanks. I’ll probably take you up on that and consider this an expensive lesson learned. I’m not a smart man.

All-Pro UCAs, stock LCAs.

 

yeah and i can't even get 3º castor with my LT kit. But pretty sure something is bent anyways haha

 

Hit the 70,000 mile mark and took the opportunity to change the oil. I also threw new belts on and replaced the bearing in the AC idler pulley. Really straightforward and now she purrs like a kitten. No more intermittent whistling and screeching!

 

Any of y’all done plugs and wires on the 3.4? How much of a dick pain is it?

 

Not a huge PITD. Driver side is a little tougher but not bad. Did it in 2 days Just make sure you put the correct wires back on the correct plug

Only idiots would do that

It'll take maybe 2-3 hours depending on how many beer breaks you take

 

Nice! Thanks for the quick reply, Josh!

 

LMK how it goes, because plugs, wires, and fuel filter are on my upcoming maintenance mod list.

 

I probably should do fuel filter. Add that to HG replacement, steering rack and timing belt/therostat here soon and new body mounts

 

For sure, Mike.

I probably won’t get them done for a week or two because I’m moving, but hopefully it goes smoothly.

You have a lot on your plate, Josh! Should be like new when it’s all done, though.

 

How'd you kill a HG?

 

It's waiting until a DD comes so I can leave it for weeks.

I didn't it's just slowly leaking so I need to replace it sometime soon. I'll do it when I have the engine ripped apart

 

It's easy. Pop off the intake tube to make it easy. x3 10mm bolts for the ignition coils. Pop em out. Put new ones in. Good to go. I recommend changing out one wire at a time, helps not to mix them up.

 

Thanks for the input, Jake!

 

Hey I have some OEM plugs you can have that I never put in my taco. I bought them when I was having the throttle body issue. I thought they where the plugs but wasn't. So they are just sitting in the garage.

 

It's easy with the intake off

Not bad though. I just put oem wires on for 40 bucks too and new plugs but I had the whole intake off and have 3x the mileage you do haha
