Styx's Slowly but Surely Black Build

Did a brake job on the truck today... Posi Quiet ceramic pads and Centric premium rotors.

 

Finally hit up Holy Jim/ Trabuco Canyon since the rain this past weekend...

 

So a little update on the truck, for some time I've had an issue with the truck stumbling/ stalling in stop and go traffic. Finally got a code for a throttle position sensor fault so I replaced it and no more stalling issues.
I also had some play in my steering rack, so I replaced my rack bushings and did an alignment at work. It's been a long time since I've had an alignment done, and when I had it done last, I really knew nothing about alignments. I was told my adjustments were maxed out on the drivers side so my caster was negative. I've since become an ASE certified alignment tech so it was interesting when I got under the truck and realized that it was aligned completely incorrectly. The caster eccentric cam was adjusted 180* the wrong way, so I corrected that and was able to get all the angles into spec and optimized. It drives so much better now!

 

As you can see, the caster on the left side was -0.3* and the camber was -1.0*. After I corrected the cam, I was able to bring the caster up to 1.5* and straighten up the camber to 0.2*. Much better.
