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

Well i reckon ill just drive around not being able to see
Thanks man, i appreciate it.
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

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

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.

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...

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!
