    Did my outer tie rods and lbj's on Saturday. Counted the threads on the old tie rods and got them almost perfect on the new tie rods. Started driving home from my friends house and immediately noticed that my alignment was trashed. Joined the Firestone Lifetime alignment club yesterday afternoon and got it all sorted out. Drives like a dream now!

    SO. MUCH. TOE.

    3000 rpms at 65.

    and if you went from 4.10s to 4.56 you would raise your rpms.

    You shouldn't really need to with 32s anyways. Unless your carting around a lot of weight then it'll help.

    Anyone come up with a remedy to the bad angle on touch screen stereos yet. Thinking maybe some spacers or something.

    The more and more I think about the more I don't want to pay a dealer to do the valve cover gaskets. I think I will clean it all up tomorrow and monitor the leak to pin point it. Once it warms up and I can get back into the garage I will do the valve covers and everything else associated with that. This truck is definitely a love-hate sort of deal.

    Well I'll have a bunch of weight regardless on the truck when she's done (from the current list) so I probably should regear also fastest I drive is 60

    The color options man, but really the one thing I hate about the first gen is the radio placement, but I'm not hacking up my dash to move stuff around. Thinking back the radio placement on my 85 and 91 sucked too
