    Thrust Angle

    So looking at my alignment sheet. Rear toe from left to right is nearly a full degree off. (0.4 vs -0.49) The thrust angle is .45. So I guess with having a solid axle the issues could be: leaf spring center point is off, axle shackles bolts not square or frame issues. I've looked and the...

    2nd Gen step rails

    2nd Gen Tuff-Bar - 3" Standard Cab Stainless Steel Round Bent Tube Step Bars. Only on truck about 7 months. Both in great shape. One does have some scratches on the underside. (see pic) I would think they will fit other trucks--The mounts are 49" apart and with how they are designed there is...

    What the Plenum looked like

    So this is what the Plenum looked like after taking off. The gasket looked pretty darn good. It was not broken or pushed in/out anywhere. Wonder if that is PCV valve "spray" pattern? Anyone have an idea? Believe I replaced it after I bought the truck less than 2 years ago. But not...

    5.2 and 5.9 TB the same?

    So I'm going to go to a local pick-n-pull and to find a V8 TB for the 3.9 as the cheap-man's upgrade. LOL Are the 5.2 and 5.9 TBs the same? Pretty sure i read that some linkage will need to be changed, but making sure no difference or any issues if I grab one or the other. I completed...

    Plenum gasket--maybe?

    So the 3.9 in the '01 isn't burning crazy amount of oil like I've read some people have dealt with. I have a P0420 code for the Cat efficiency below threshold. Just picked up pre & post O2 sensors, but if there is oil from the plenum then, they will just eventually go bad. Also going to...

    2/4 before and after--Love it

    Had done the front springs and rear shackles nearly 2 months ago. HA HA Finally tackled those rivets and did the hangers. LOVE the look and now that the Nitro shocks are in their "zone," it rides great. Now to just get that set of wheels on her that are sitting in the garage. :P (and no...

    Too low of a Temp

    I changed out the thermostat, water pump and bypass hose this weekend. Went from the stock 195 to a 180 stat. With the AC on or off, or sitting at idle once fully warmed up--the gauge is reading what I would call 160 degrees. (Gauge is labeled with 130 & 210 and needle is sitting less than...

    Smelling coolant--not in cab

    So been smelling some antifreeze. Not in the cab--outside on passenger side. Looking everywhere and don't see anything. Coolant goes down enough that I top off every couple weeks. I read in here about freeze plugs and heater cores. But like I mentioned not smelling in the cab, plus I...

    Alignment "issue"

    Dropped truck 2" up front with coils. Installed new controls up top (SO easy compared to cutting out the ball joints.) and cut off and installed new ball joints on bottom. Also installed new hub/bearing assemblies. Took into Firestone to get their lifetime alignment. Travels down road...

    Wet floorboard on passenger side

    So wife said she thought she smelled something the other day and i took it as the old seat i had installed from a local pick-n-pull, but today I found the carpet on the passenger floorboard to be wet. And the smell (musty) was from that. I did use the AC today. Under the hood there is a...
