    Ball joint about to pop out

    Ive owned the truck for about 5 years and have greased it a few times, over the last couple months I would get a random clunk out of the front end, I packed the hubs and bearings 2 months ago and I'm pretty sure it wasnt like that then, something in the back of my mind has been telling me to...

    Ball joint about to pop out

    Went to grease the front diff on my truck and noticed the lower balljoint is sitting damn near a 1/4 inch high, so is the upper. never seen this happen before, I think the square is parked until my D60 is ready.

    Inadequate Heat

    I just did a very quick search for "CUCV heater core difference" and it seems the first 2 thing that come are people having issues with a replacement core, GM must of had a different spec for the CUCV trucks

    Axle truss's do they serve a purpose or all for show

    I dont necessarily plan on jumping my truck, but you never know it could happen, plowing snow and moving the berms can get a little rough at times. my axle guy did say he will weld the tubes because he has seen them twist

    Inadequate Heat

    I didnt notice the blend door videos, I watched them and they dont look messed up, I'm sure some foam would help, but it should still have heat, how is the airflow, does it blow a good amount of air? maybe the squirrel cage is stripped out on the motor shaft. One thing I have noticed with my...

    Inadequate Heat

    how did the blend doors look? My LS swapped K20 with a 180° thermostat has good hot air all the time from 120° on up, I have a big aluminum 4 core radiator, I would really take a good look at all the ducting to the vent, make sure blend doors are sealing up, and make sure any holes in the...

    Axle truss's do they serve a purpose or all for show

    I do have a snow plow, the weight of it is the main reason for upgrading my 10 bolt to a dana 60, my gear guy is big on selling the truss's he swears by them, I am having him weld in a low profile one that does not have any funky looking designs

    Leaking Slip Yoke

    I have no idea, I personally have never seen one leak like that, maybe it was replaced years ago with something of lower quality. edit to include: maybe during the manufacturing process an error was made like to much material being removed and as a QC fix a plug was installed, thats all I can...

    Leaking Slip Yoke

    that is definatley a picular place for a leak to occur, I think RTV type sealant would fling off of there because of the RPM's it spins, maybe remove whole driveline and take it to a driveline shop and get a new one or weld it and rebalance it

    Axle truss's do they serve a purpose or all for show

    I can see that they serve a purpose, I wouldnt mind having one, but I don't plan on entering any tough truck competions, and aint trying to be "one of those guys"

    Axle truss's do they serve a purpose or all for show

    whats your thoughts on welding on an axle truss? do you really think they are necessay to make the differential more rigid? or is it somethimg for the ford mall crawler drivers to make the diff look more pretty

    Please help me make a decision

    slow that beast down a little, 70 MPH and shes gotta be screaming down the highway. I would check tire pressure, and air filter, and try cruising it at 55MPH and see if it improves any. anything without an overdrive trans is going to be using alot of fuel at 70

    question about front sway bar interchange

    I ordered a set of top plates and a u-bolt kit from ORD, $44 dollar shipping, if I wasnt so tired I would of shopped around more and ordered elsewhere. I wont be paying that much for shipping again

    question about front sway bar interchange

    I think some ford diffs from the late 70's will damn near bolt up, dodge has a wider perch spacing, and newer ones have the stupid style "unit" bearing or whatever its called, I think keeping it all GM stuff is the easiest way to get it upgraded and maintain it.

    question about front sway bar interchange

    that is very nice looking, I like the sway bar disconnect, and I am relieved that the top plates will fit the D60, I almost walked away from buying it over not getting them, but I just didnt want to drive another 5 hours home empty handed
