    Shackle eye welded?

    I wonder if a previous owner did just that and the dormans not quite oem sized bushing? That's the big challenge is I cant get the factory bushing fitted and seated in the hanger

    Shackle eye welded?

    Energy polys, naw its a full on weld. I'm gonna see if I can cut it without wrecking the shackle. Maybe I'll just get some new ones

    Shackle eye welded?

    Been fighting this rear shackle trying to drive new bushings in. Found the eye has been welded shut. Is there any chance this is factory? Seems unlikely to me. If so any tips on getting bushings to fit well enough to mount to the hanger? Thanks in advance

    Unfortunately no, had minimum coverage. Max coverage is enough to buy a new to me idi every couple years.

    afFORDable build

    Hello all, wanted to start a build thread for my 85 6.9 super cab. I won't be able to actually make any forward progress till school gets over in December but I wanted to lay out previous modifications, and long term plans. Unfortunately I got hit on the passenger side rear tire in September...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Maxxum 140 think it's a 2015. I started out on the open cab skip loader. Pretty nice to switch and get the heater radio and new tires.

    Picked up a project! No motor or tranny. Originally idit e40d. Plan to possibly put my spare idi in it. Eventually may do a 12 valve or a dt series swap. Current question. No key. And steering is locked. But I can spin the little piece the key plugs into freely. Swap out the ignition cylinder?

    collison aftermath

    I jacked it up Saturday amd looked at it with some buddies. I dunno if I just remembered wrong or what but the wheels spin opposite of each other and spin smoothly. So now in my spare time..... I'll start tearing it down.

    collison aftermath

    I would be really surprised if it was posi-tracked. Pleasantly surprised for Sure! spinning it felt normal. I've got some buddies coming over tonight to grip me take a look. Wife wants a second opinion on whether the frame is actually straight. Shes seen how some of my projects go lol

    collison aftermath

    I jacked it up a couple days ago. The wheels still turn and the driveshaft turns. If i remember correctly the wheels turned the same way as each other. This is what has me concerned. With the open diff they should turn different directions correct?

    collison aftermath

    I am fine thank you for the concern. I am leaning towards fixing it. Just dont want to put a ton of work into it only to find the axles bad

    collison aftermath

    Hello all, Had the misfortune of catching a nissan sentra with my rear passenger wheel. Frame is straight, every suspension component is busted. Debating on how worthwhile it is to fix(super cab 85 6.9) The kicker will probably be if my axle's still good or not. Any way to tell without...

    Aftermarket ac blower

    85 no factory AC. Has a separate black controller under the dash. It has a seperate blower behind the glovebox inside the dash. Has anyone had to replace the blower in a system like this? And perhaps has a part number? Any input much appreciated. Thank you

    4X4 Manual hubs or automatic?

    Always go with Manuel....he knows whats up. Hubs, tranny, windows, locks.....manuel is reliable and rugged. No electronic bull shit when you cant afford to be let down.
