    Shocks?!?

    Well y’all. When I get some funds I’m gonna go through and replace those axle pivot bushings and such. Thank you. I’ll get back to you once I get that done and see where I’m at.

    Shocks?!?

    I go to les Schwab. They’ve treated me well and I trust them to do good work. They rebalanced them. When they did the front end there were 1/2” spacers. That weren’t accounted for when the tires were originally put on. I took it back to them to get it checked out and they said that it was the...

    Shocks?!?

    The truck came with said parts when I bought it. There is no oil near top of either side, but that difference in exposed piston is concerning

    Shocks?!?

    Honestly the shocks are a seemingly knock off of rough country. They’re tuff country. I looked up the brand and they are kinda cheap compared to the likes of bilstein. And I’ve never heard of them

    Shocks?!?

    Also a note the problem only happens at about 55. It has no mechanical origins. It has something to due with the suspension or something related.

    Shocks?!?

    Howdy y’all. Got a bit of an inconsistent issue. I’ve got a rough ride(yes I know these trucks ride like tanks sometimes). I posted about the issue awhile ago. It’s almost like a death wobble, for a very breif period of time (maybe 5 seconds) and then it goes away, also it goes away if I speed...

    I’m confused. Lol.

    Lol the truck seems to run a bit better is what I’m saying y’all. Lol I think she cleared out her pipes. It’s back to normal after driving to town today. I’ll get back if something happens

    I’m confused. Lol.

    As to your post jemima. That might be the case. I like this setting just fine. I think she was just clearing the air out of her throat yesterday. She’s back to normal today. Thank you guys.

    I’m confused. Lol.

    I turned the fuel all the way down and redid the fuel system myself. It is a bit above stock rn.

    I’m confused. Lol.

    Do y’all think my valvetrain finally cleaned itself up, or the filter was clogged and isn’t now?

    I’m confused. Lol.

    I appreciate the recommendations for filters, but I’m not looking to replace a pretty much brand new filter. I’m confused about the sudden excess of black smoke that wasn’t there before as well as the lack of struggle when getting up to speed

    I’m confused. Lol.

    The filter is only a couple months old. I changed it with the oil. I think it’s a Donaldson. Idk if that’s a major brand. Lol I’m just confused as to why my truck all of a sudden has all kinds of smoke and “power”(don’t know how else to explain it), after pretty much draining the filter

    I’m confused. Lol.

    Okay guys. Here’s one for you. I replaced my thermostat yesterday and all went well I believe. No leaks after getting it up to temp and driving it around, and letting it cook twice. Here’s the weird part. As y’all know you have to take off all that stuff on that side of the engine(alternator...

    Issues yet again.

    Readjusted the switch where it felt right and found some power wires I rerouted to be connected but with a poor reading. I cut them down and used a better connection method and all good again. Thank you all

    Issues yet again.

    Howdy all, I have an issue I brought to y’all about 1 year ago. I have no crank from the key. Now how I fixed it last time was a ran a wire from the ignition switch, to the ignition terminal(small one) on the solenoid. Yes I know bypassing the NSS is bad, but I’m the only one to drive it and...

    What is this part

    It seems like it came off the transfer case. Where there a stud in the rear that it seems to slide on I have no clue. It was just hanging down one day.

    What is this part

    Hello all. Found this hanging below my truck a few days ago and traced it and disconnected it. Idk what it does or where it goes. Any ideas. Also, just tonight I went to shift my truck out of park and it about stalled. I shifted it back into park and then went into reverse no problem. Got home...

    Weird thing is. I took my neighbor for a ride and he felt the vibration, and said he’d help me replace the u joints. But it didn’t do the wobbly death stuff at 50 and I pushed it to 65 and it didn’t do it again so we are going to replace those tomorrow and see if that helps.

    Also go your post DaveBen, they checked everything in the front end and said it is fine

    I know what it is. On another note. They called back and said I have a loose u joint on the front of the driveshaft and that was vibrating pretty bad as they ran it at the 50mph mark. Does the symptoms I described sound like something that would happen with that?

    I told the shop that. Told them also they need to take it for a test drive above 50 to see what I am talking about. It’s there as we speak so I’m hoping they can do a better job than they have been doing.

    I’m thinking ball joints. I’m taking it right back to the shop and they are going to double check their work. They will figure it out whether they like it or not. It’s a Dana 44hd. The hub tapers to the cap. Tie rods and drag link are all new as well. Also the spacers weren’t mine. I didn’t even...

    My guess is ball joints but I guess to be more descriptive, the washboard feeling isn’t subtle at all. It feels like the front end wants to rip off literally. The whole truck shakes so bad, it’s not just like a little vibration at speed. It’s violent

    Honestly I couldn’t tell you
