1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Spend money on the things that separate you from the ground - shoes, mattress and brakes & tires

 

That's a great line if thinking.

Not that I follow it all the time...

 

I can’t believe I just paid $8 for two slices of the meat lovers pizza from the cafeteria. Doesn’t taste much better than the $1/slice pizza I had in high school.

The price of convenience I guess. I’m just glad the chef wasn’t making it otherwise it’d be $8/slice.

 

Check with some of the local tire shops. They may have some cheapies they'll sell you.

 

You damn kids with your Nintendos and your myspace.

 

I'd go to Craigslist and FBM for cheap take offs.

 

Ended up with a short throw, fits perfectly and shifts like a dream so a win-win for sure.

 

Dang that was fast. Glad it worked for you

 

Super fast! It was in hand 2 days after I ordered it. Put it in same day.

 

It’s 70° today

 

Found some stickers online. I bought 4 for S&G.

 

Silver camper for sale Santa Fe, NM $350.
Not mine.

 

Alright, I’ve been chasing this popping out of the front end and I’m at wits end. It’s weird like the alignment shifts and you can feel it when driving. When it pops in the opposite direction it fixes itself and “goes back into alignment”. Truck pulls to the right and now it’s shaking under braking only when the alignment/front end “pops out”

333 fab billet rack clamp
New rack, inner, and outer tie rods
OEM LBJ
No front sway bar

lower ball joints are still good. I’m at wits end here. It’s a very audible clunk and it feels like it’s under a lot of tension. Happens only at slow speed turning in parking lots or backing into the driveway. Any ideas?

 

Did you confirm the LCA adjusters are tightened to spec, front and rear, both arms?

 

Washed that B

 

I have the 333Fab alignment lockout plates as well. They’re torqued and they haven’t moved since I witness marked it with the paint pen. Recently had them loosened for a cv warranty, but it was doing that prior too.

Im really at a loss. Even thought it was a seized caliper, but both temps are identical after driving and no signs on the rotors.

 

Have you watched the steering rack bushings while someone else turns the wheels with the engine running?

 

Get the front end off the ground & give everything the wiggle test.

 

Need someone to drive the truck recreating the sound while you’re outside looking

 

Is that a good one? Santa fe is only 4 hours from me.

 

I have but it’s been a long time and I think they don’t move since they’re poly especially with that billet clamp. Looks like I might just need to throw it on a lift and crack everything loose and retorque to see. I feel stupid because usually this kind of things cause be found by process of elimination.

 

I did a rotate about a month ago and everything is in good shape

 

You would hate my tool box at work. I have tools, parts screws, zip toes and random goobbernatorial items stashed every where

 

Gotta love them ferds

 

I’m not sure of the build quality of specific brands.

 

Snug top is a quality brand. That’s a nice looking shell with all its windows and keys. Even has the carpet on the ceiling. If you like the unique window configuration, go for it. Also a good price

 

Might have to change my title.

was gonna wait until tomorrow to unload the truck, but i’ll be damned. These things work.

 

That reminds me, I need to torque the rack bolts to spec this weekend. That clamp is supposed to be at 122 ft lbs. I think the middle is like 90 and the driver bolt is either 90 or 122.

 

Sounds good. I hollered at them.

 

Snacks?
