well i have a lift but its a bodylift, my tbars are cranked all the way which i guess could be the problem. balljoints are pretty strait forward so i dont think i could have put them in wrong. maybe i should let the tbars down some. but i still dont see why they should be eating them so fast.
-
pssd ive already replace 2 sets of balljoint boots, and they keep craking and letting dirt in. does any one know where i can get better boots? the only ones i can find around here is those cheap arse replacement ones that are thin rubber. any ideas?

sounds like a challenge

ive got some Deulers that i paid 180 for total from a friend of a friend. there was nothing wrong with them and they looked brand new. i havent had a chance to wheel them hard, but they are pretty nice, and handle really well on the road dry or wet. the only prob was that i had to switch down to 15s from 17 rims.

i went to cali last summer, and the LA freeway sucks. like a damn washboard. other than that i thought it was great, makes me wanna move out there with a relative in west covina. but then i look at the gas prices and then my wallet. ill just stay a little longer and marinate in the houston heat.

check out what else the bidder bought. ironically enough, in the land where 1/3 is mexican (texas) i see very few meximobile nissans, mostly chevys, dodges and fords. your occasional toyota, but the nissan variety is quiet rare, almost like truffles.

looks FANTASTIC

:o what a freak accident. good thing they came out alive
-
i think it looks.. distinguished. i dont care so much for flash front ends, or the dual lights that chevy and gmc have going for it. i absolutly hate the 97-2004 ford fronts. simplicity is beauty.

well there nothing as of yet, so far im just trying to make my mark in this world. right now i work in a metal laser cutting shop, only profile cutting mostly 304L, 316L, and A36 carbon steel. sometimes we get different materials, egiloy, aluminum, neoprene and some plastic. the machine is supposed to cut 1" material without problems but that would be hard to see it do that. it has a hard enough time cutting 3/8" 304L. ive been pick up little things here and there. yesterday i watched the so called "laser operator" change the focal position way to much. then watched him struggle to figure out why it was spewing liquid 316 on the top of the plate. i told him what he did wrong but the as usual he didnt think that i was right till he reset the parameters to stock and saw the focal position go from 4.35 mm to 2.4mm stock. right now im waiting on the Pullmax guy to come back and finish the 440 ton brake and teach me how to run it. then i gotta ride the boss for a raise. i can get a new copy of that cd any time, my pops has his connections. hes a machinist too. for the last 10years hes been running CNC machines, making all sorts of crap. lately he has been cutting exotic tough material that i cant remember the name of. apperently hes gotta change tools every two runs. eventualy ill get a new computer and teach my self. but lately i do quality control , clean of the parts and shop, shipping and receving, and any misc job to be done.
-
Showing off the skill I have in a trade I have labored in for almost 15 years ? Yeah, then I guess it is showing off, but it weren't easy getting here Bud... B lol im just messing with you Precise i had solid works till some one broke the CD for it, i never got to use it either. my computer was a tad bit too crappy to run it. i had used autocad for a year but never got to the 3D rendering and wireframes. but for what we run at work i wouldnt need to know it, that is if he ever let me do drawings. they use some corp mod version of autocad called bypart. but its all the same.
-
lol do they ask you if its commercial use? the last few times ive taken them in i get asked that.

*snort* show off...

soon there will be more options for GPS. the new type they are developing now is called TV-GPS, it used tv signals to triangulate your position. and as you know tv signals can pass though alot, plus the transmitters for tvs are like 1000 times as powerful as the GPS transmitters now. problem is that the transmitters cant keep the time like regular GPS can.
-
yea ive noticed that too. i use castrol GTX HighMillage 10-w30 on mine Castol Synthetic on the Sentra and Mobil 1 synthetic on the Ram

you can find the tranny coolers at the autoparts store, ebay, junkyards ect. its not hard to do at all. you just mount the new one where you want, disconnect the old one and run new hoses from the tranny lines to the new one. takes like 15 mins to do and cost maybe 50bucks. if you do get an auto pathy its prolly wise to get the tranny flushed for a good measure and filled with some quality oil. just make sure you get the biggest tranny cooler you can find, cause the cooler it runs the longer it lasts.

i had to rebuild mine at around 115k miles. it had problems with the forward gears, but i could still drive it just fine cept for the fact that i was going 45-50 at 3000-3500rpm consistantly. she still drove fine and during that time i never had another problem with the tranny other that the shift problem. i could even do 70mph but hovering around 4200rpm. it just sounds like your trying to race the whole city like that. i dont drive like a granny either, i tend to gas it hard every where i prolly should take it easy but wheres the fun in that.
-
the main cause is from the tranny oil cooler. it gets clogged easy cause the lines are small. if you find a pathy that has recently had the tranny replaced then your alright on the tranny issue. if it doesnt have an aftermarket tranny cooler put the biggest one you can find on it. completely bypass the stock one. almost the number one thing to fail on the autos in the reverse. prolly from overheating and killing the soliniod.
