no bushings and no manifold off, only thing I did was clean and rebuild the tbi unit, grind off the bore castings and smooth it out, then cleaned the injectors, never touched the dist. from where it was before, but now it does this cough crap.

I really wish I had a bunch of ALDL cables to send out to you guys...T'would be sooo much easier to pinpoint these issues.
Any exhaust leaks?

nah just a wash, polished my wheels up some with the mother's mag/alum. polish, shined up the diamond plate rails with it, and then vacuum the inside and armor all it. I need to shampoo the carpet.

no bushings and no manifold off, only thing I did was clean and rebuild the tbi unit, grind off the bore castings and smooth it out, then cleaned the injectors, never touched the dist. from where it was before, but now it does this cough crap.

Ya got a meter to hook up to your TPS? Just to check the range on it. Blue wire is where you want to hook the positive to. Ground anywhere.

I asked Chris if he brought some pieces of 2x4 to jam in the rear springs or if he had a caster for the rear bumper lol. If the weather woulda been better and my phone not be needing replaced we woulda tried to grab a bite somewhere and tell more lies, maybe next time! Hopefully they both make it home safe, it was trying to snow!

That's Awesome **** !!! I am fukin jelly !!! I have tons of parts to trade but for some damn reason, to damn far away from everyone.

Where did you guys meet and how long of a drive for each of you???

**** like this we need to make a need thread. Titled, Members Meet. Even if it is just for a quick ball scratch and parts swap, it's still cool !!!

LOL I knew they'd be up soon LOL. awesome.

we had an axle, springs, hangers, shackles, sway bar, 8 u bolts, drums, spindle, couple bags of misc. brake parts, and I'm sure something else I'm forgetting all in the back and 3 ppl in the car.

You would have died to see me ride home crammed into the dash all the way. I should have slid the axle back further so I could at least keep my knees off the dash LOL.

It snowed hard over there.

was dry at home.

For me we met up about 50 miles I think from my dad's place, about an hr. drive from me, about 3 hrs or more for Andy and about 20 minutes or so from Curt's place. It was awesome, had a great time, wished we could have hung out longer.
