mws is right, because also when that happens, a lot more of your pathy will be $#&%ed up, and at that point it won't be worth fixing. Get it done or park it before its too late.

Well taking it on some "serious backroads" in that condition isn't any better for your pathy in its current state. Just have a local shop weld it back on, and go over the rest of the frame and make sure its solid, you can do this your self with a hammer and screwdriver, post up some pics of the rest of the frame if you don't mind. Oh yeah, have you noticed what that bar connects to, other than the frame? IIRC there should be 2 links to your axle, because right now you only have 2 links left and your swaybar, and if those let go, say bye bye to your wheels, if at high speeds, that'll be a nasty accident.

Well, I was quoted around 600 bucks for mine, but I have more rot behind there. I would NOT drive it like that, because that piece is what prevents your rear axle from shifting, that clunk you hear is that thing moving around when it shouldn't be, giving the axle even more play, eventually you could loose your axle, although thats in extreme cases. If the truck is in good mechanical condition, and the body rust is minimal, I'd get it fixed, and bring her home with you. I live in ottawa myself, I think there are other members here from ottawa as well, I know of one whom I've met in person. You can't kill the engine in these things, with proper maintenance of course (timing belt) Oh and is it broken on one side, or both??? AND I bet you that when that bar fell it took out your brake line that you speak of, thats what mine did. and how in the hell did your truck pass a safety inspection? I'd take it back to the place that did the inspection.

hey buddy, welcome to the club, Mine is EXACTLY like that, on both sides. I wouldnt drive it on the road. Yes its fixable, I'm in the process of fixing mine. If the rest of the truck is in good shape like mine is, definitly fix it, if the wallet allows for that.

umm have you checked your frame recently, like in the past week? because for me the clunking sound wasn't only a disconnected sway bar link. It was an upper link mount that fell off. Can you post some pictures of that area of your frame, and if you can, your whole frame. Might wanna go around with a ball pean hammer and find all the bad spots and have them welded....i think you get i the idea.

I wouldn't let a dog near my pathy

thats better than the rating when they were new, when my wd was on the road it got about 20 mpg ~

maybe whatever was leaking has no more oil to leak?

Your frame is perfect compared to mine, where are you from, that plays a big role in how fast it rots.

i used my front tow hook to pull stumps once, they're tough!

its because the haynes manuals have the specs for like 5000000 different year and model differences.

Don't the pistons collide with the valves starting at 3 teeth off?

why are you de-lifting it?

:worthless:

I can't get the number 6 plug out on mine, its a 93SE, all the plugs but that one were changed 4 years ago, so god knows how old that one plug is.

meh, just put some more weight on the other side and it'll be all good. but maybe one of your shocks has failed internally? I know that my pathy leaned on the passenger side to the rear and i found out that shock had failed internally, if that can even happend (its what i was told)

well your name is phattbaztard

I must try this sometime

And if you wait too long it'll completly separate and you have a whole new mess on your hands

not drive? well you could start buy making sure you've done all your maintenance/tune up stuff. Change all the oils, preferably to synthetic, replace your air filter with a high quality one (k and n for example), change your spark plugs, and don't have anything that isn't neccessary inside your truck, the weight actually made a difference for me. If your a 5 speed, shift at 2500 rpm and don't book it all the time. Also make sure your tires are inflated properly and bearings are in good shape. All this stuff, including fuel filter change as well, brought my truck up from 16mpg to 20mpg hope that helps

4 hours, then why does a mechanic quote me for the job at 7 hours?

works for me on firefox on xp pro. are you running firefox 2 or the old one?

ok..... back to the topic, i would take them back, and ream out the people if they don't give you another one, thats what i did when a parts store wouldn't return my clearly defective battery under warranty.

where is the clutch solenoid, is it near the compressor, and how do i jumper it?

Thats because I wouldn't sell him my wd21 lsd rear axle with discs
