    Broken oil tube

    From under the truck I was able to get a screwdriver on the bracket for the retainer bolt on the dipstick. Hit the handle of the screwdriver with a hammer a few times and it came right out. On another one I did a while back we were able to pry on the ridge that acts as a “stop” for the tube...

    Corsa DB catback

    No, I'll try to remember to take one soon.

    Corsa DB catback

    Put some catted long tubes on it and it will get quite a bit louder. Obviously that's an expensive option but it gives you the best of both worlds. No drone on the highway but still pretty loud. Thats the exact setup I have, ARH 1 3/4 catted headers and a Corsa DB exhaust.

    engine rpm increases but speed doesn't

    Let it warm up a min before driving, I bet it's just the ecu trying to warm things up. I'm assuming it only does it when it's cold? Mine has done something like that for a long time but I've always figured it was just because it was cold. I usually try to let my vehicles sit for just a bit...

    Narrowed SST Front Wheels

    It's awesome that they do aluminum wheels, a lot of places will just do steel. Did you go with 7" so you could keep a streetable tire on it or was that as far as they could take them? I figured you were going to go full skinny on the fronts.

    Driveshaft Loop

    Got it painted and installed. Only thing I may do different is plate the outside of the frame rails similar to how I did the inside rather than use the washers. The frame had some deflection as the bolts were tightened up.

    Driveshaft Loop

    Thanks, I actually didn't see your latest post before I posted this, sucks about loosing yours on the 1st pass... Thankfully I'm running a 4x4 crew cab so I've got a single piece steel ds. It's an 8 speed. I would agree that it would be smart to add a rear loop. There is a nice factory...

    Driveshaft Loop

    Well I spent most of the day today with a friend working on a loop. I love my 32 gal. gas tank for daily driving but it sure made the loop a pain. We ended up making it 3 pieces so it all bolts in without any welding on the truck. I even used existing holes in the frame rails so no drilling...

    Driveshaft Loop

    How many of you guys have a driveshaft loop? I'm thinking about adding one before running drag radials at the track. After seeing a few people have failures I figure it's a pretty cheap piece of insurance. If you've got one, I'd be interested in seeing a pic.
