+SconnieHailer's Build & BS+

Yea just different feel and response im sure.

 

This truck looks like shit. What a waste of money.


















I'm so jealous of your sexy Build!!

 

Aint this the truth. Everytime I look at a DMax motor I just think how the hell do they work on that. AT least Ford made it "easy" to get to the motor lol.

Never understood that myself. I was always partial to the STI for the 6 speed. They defiantly spool quicker after driving the two though.

 

Haha looks like you and I think alike. Right color, 6 speed.... Three pedals ftw

 

I flew to WV just to get this truck lmao. No other way to have a truck! One day it'll be as badass as yours.

 

Btw...I still can't figure out what that far left pedal is for. I'm glad I'm not the only one they did that to. Still haven't gotten a recall notice.

 

Update on exhaust... Added a tiny magnaflow race muffler to get rid of the rice. See video description for info on setup. And who doesnt like snonuts!

That sounds pretty good.

 

Thanks Mac it finally is just the right amount of loud and not raspy.

 

Those snownuts look fun!

 

Its tough with a v6 to get that right tone. I had a magnaflow on my old tacoma and it was just enough of a increase in tone that I liked it.

 

These two have been buddies all week and I think my die easy has got a new life. We'll see how it does with an extended load soon but for now it's working like usual.

 

Welp, my throw out bearing has started squeaking because of a worn bell quill... I knew this day was coming but it's still a bummer. Likely because my clutch is wearing down and causing the pressure plate fingers to go towards the trans and eat up the free air between the bearing and the fingers. It comes and goes so looks like I'm doing the research to fix it for good while I wait for it to get worse. Wish a T56 was easy swap in for 4x4 trucks...

Anyone have suggestions?

 

Don't make excuses

 

lol. Yea lets just go for the divorced t-case and all custom driveline.

 

New clutch, new plate and LCE throws in a new TOB if you buy from them.

 

Nice! But the problem is the worn quill/snout/input shaft sleeve I'm pretty sure. I'm considering the GM unit urd sells that has you cut the snout off and replace it with a hydro unit instead of the dumb fork unit. Then go with a new clutch and heavy flywheel as well.

 

Shee shee nee lake do it in this summer?

 

Nah probably not but all the hard clutching I'm sure didn't help. It's a known issue with the aluminum bell housing and fork push design. It showed up this winter when it was 20 below...

 

tell me about it..
