Hey guys,
I installed the ride-rite airbags (front and rear) on my truck and made a video documenting the installation process and some problems I faced along the way. I ended up seeing some premature failure on the mounting brackets and firestone was unresponsive to my customer service...
All,
Don't know much about dump beds but have been eyeing the kits on Amazon for quite some time now. I have a 11 foot Lance camper and was wondering if the modifications you need to do to your bed (detaching it from the frame so it can swing) would cause the camper riding in the back to be...
I have no experience in restoration of radiators. It sounds like having a radiator shop clean it out professionally might be orders of magnitude better then the old chemical flush huh?
Man, thanks for the legit offer. I did quite a bit of research and can't seem to find a drop in aluminum replacement. I am not sure i want to invest the time in moving radiator supports at this time.... i have a welder and all just would rather drive the truck then wrench on it for the time...
All,

Thanks for the offer man, mighty kind of you. I would need the rockers because they have a bunch of galling on them now as well as the fulcrum pieces (not sure of the proper name). Do you have a full set of used ones you don't particularly want to hang on to? How much could I offer you for the...
All,
On reassembly I noticed something pretty obvious I had not noticed on disassembly.
When compared to another rocker....
Even the "good" sides seem to have a lot of wear on them. Lots of galling too. I think what happened was that when the tops of 3 of the lifters failed the oil...
All,
Appreciate the concerns, obviously you guys are looking out for me and supporting me in fixing this truck "correctly". The goal right now however is for me to get er back on the road for 2 more years of light service. I dont tow much, mainly driving to work (8 miles) when it rains and i...
