Thanks man!
I love those coopers, they are wearing amazing. ive got 60% tread left and ive had them since June.

Yeah man, I love them!
I just thought it would be best to take them off till i broke the motor and tranny in good.

No sense in wearing them down when i cant use them

PS.
Last night i put the new tie rods, and idler arm on. I couldn't manage to get the pitman arm off because i dont have a pulley puller.

Took it in this morning to get an alignment done, and it rides like a cadillac .

Still a small amount of shaking at 40-45 and 60-65 so thats something i need to figure out...But other than that everything is good .

Could that be my wheel bearings needing to be packed with grease?

Going to get the oil changed tomorrow...I wish i could do it myself, but i have to have receipts saying it was done so Oh well...

34's going on soon

Glad to hear it's going well, Bo!

Shake could be many things, but often, my shakes at certain speeds wound up being tires out of balance(knocked a weight off, etc.).

Really nice rig, Bo, ..... sweet on the "Motor is breaking in well" end!

Bojangles

Crushed...My life. Haha dang.

Thanks man, i appreciate it.

New motor is actually doing really great, im past 1,000 miles now with no problems.

Although this morning i woke up to go to work and when i tried to crank the truck it just continued to turn over but no fire to the engine...I called my boss, told her i was going to be late, popped my hood. And there was a huge white letter that said....
And my coil wire was unplugged.....


Yesterday while my dad was using the belt sander i thought it would be funny to sneak up behind him and scare the daylights out of him...I guess he got me back

Bojangles

Haha i dont have the money or the time for a SAS.
But i wish! It will happen one day.

BTW, Did you ever figure out your battery issue??

xxxtreme22r

haha bo, that's some funny stuff about yur dad. Can't wait to see those 34's on there.

Bojangles

Haha i thought it was funny after i popped the hood. Thanks man,

I actually had a guy call and offer to trade me a set of 37 boggers on chevrolet rims with 1/2 tread for my 34's...Hmmm...

That could be potential for when i regear and lift...

Best wishes, Bo,

yea i cleaned everything up and it just kinda went away and i was like haha

Bojangles

Haha hey, no complaining here.



Alright...Ive got a question...

My truck has been doing this since i got the new motor back...And i cant quite figure it out...

When i first crank the truck up, and run through first gear, between 2500 and 3200 rpms there is a definite squeel...Sounds like an old belt, but i dont know for sure.
But after that is runs great with no squeeling at all...Ive replaced all the belts and still no luck...
Brand new alternator, and adjuster pulley/tensioner pulley for the a/c belt.

Any ideas?

Have you checked your water pump? Every now and then a NIB water pump can be bad...

Look for weeping on the bottom side... Sometimes they have a bad casting and it will blow the rear bearing out.

other option is the A/C clutch... during first start ups if you have the defroster on the A/C is actually turned on to put load on the engine, helps warm it up.

try disconnecting the A/C wires under the hood and see if it helps. If it does you have a few options.

Replace the compressor, leave A/C un plugged or... remove the little piece that turns on the A/C in the dash control... You would have to actually tear apart the defrost selector switch to do this last one. It will have a small piece of copper that runs from the A/C portion to the Defrost portion on the inside of the switch.

I actually did this to an old '98 Neon and it improved my gas mileage because of the warm ups during winter/late fall.

anyway just a few thoughts.

Bojangles

A lot of good suggestions...

1- Water pump is brand new, and i haven't been loosing coolant...So i doubt thats it.

2- A/c clutch would be possible, but my a/c wires are not hooked up. Im missing a line going from the dehydrator to the condenser...So until i find that line i cant recharge my A/c.

So that kinda rules everything out unless the compresser is just locking up...

Bojangles

Still having the squeeling issue....
I mean...Its not affecting anything, its just annoying me haha.
Its only when i first crank up though. Then it stops after i run through first gear.

Anyways, Swampers are back on Back to 34x10.50 MAN TIRES!
