  1. Agreed. WD40 works great. Spray it on, let it soak, then just wipe it off. Then use windex to clean up the oil residue.
  2. Just installing the AC lift springs alone needs camber adjustment afterwards. I guess if you made the SFD using stock height springs it would work, but I think most people are using the 2" AC coils + the 4" SFD aren't they? At least that's what I'm using.
  3. You'll need to replace 2 of them with adjustable camber bolts anyways to do the alignment.

    Gps

    If you want one for trails, don't even worry about looking at the ones made for vehicles. Tom-Tom, etc... they usually don't have any form of off road capability. For that you'll want a hand held one, probably one that lets you store a lot of way-points, so you can record the various points of the trail. Someone with more experience with various unit's would be better at giving advice on those.
  5. Wow, it's up to a $5000 fine here.
  6. There's very little oil pressure once it gets to the top of the motor. The worst that would happen is the oil would get splattered around and some would come out the oil cap opening. Just clean up any splashing and adjust the oil level, nothing will happen.
  7. The front diff is easy to remove. Just unbolt the drive shafts, and a few mounting bolts and out it comes. 30 minutes max to remove it.
  8. I would stay away from the 6 ply tires. Yes hey have a better load capacity, but they are also about 30% heavier than the 4 ply tires. Your rolling mass is huge with 6 ply's. I used 6 ply tires before, then changed to 4 ply's. Gained about 100km / tank just with that change alone.
  9. What wheels and offset are you using? they look like they stick out quite a bit
  10. They did adress the brake problem, with updated brake pads and rotors. There was a campaign on that too, they replaced the pads and rotors at no charge. I've never had a truck come back with a brake problem after installing the updated parts, maybe yours in a one-off, or posssibly someone put the wrong pads on the truck as part of the campaign, or as a repair afterwards.
  11. If you dont understand redneck jokes.... you might be... well, you get it.
  12. Stock was 15" I ordered one for measurement before I ordered mine.
  13. I got mine from a local hot-rod shop that does custom bodies, etc... Just told them a length I needed, they ordered it no problem, had it in 2 days. I've heard 30" is what people are using, I ordered 27", but haven't installed it yet.
  14. Holly crap... They want $214 for the wheels, then $332 extra to ship them to me. Then I'd probably have to pay duty etc.. when they came across the border. The shipping is more than the wheels..... lol.
  15. I know of a dealer that put GL-5 fluid in a transmission, it blew up, the owner took the dealer to small claims court. The dealer lost. The FSM clearly says GL-4 is to be used, not GL-5.
  16. why don't you just get something like this:
  17. I don't have any experience with magnaflow, but I used to run twin 2 chamber flowmaster mufflers on my 5.0L mustang. I loved them. Extremely loud on the outside behind the car, but almost whisper quiet inside the car. I had cheaper "super turbo" mufflers on it before and you couldn't hear yourself think in the car on the highway. With the flowmasters you could talk in a normal voice.
  18. Do not put GL-5 oil in the transmissions. That's for the diff's. If you can't find 75w90, try 80w90, it's more common, but make sure it's gl-4.
  19. use a strong pressure washer to strip it off. If it's peeling off, don't spend time worrying about stopping it. It wasn't applied properly in the first place. Every time you get a stone chip it will peel. Better if you want to fix it, to strip down as much as you can and get a body shop to properly prep the color coat and respray a clear coat.
  20. It depends on if you are willing to hack up your fenders or not. You can probably stuff 34's in there with some modification, but if you don't want to take a sawsall to your truck, you better stick with 155/80R13's.
  21. lol The distance between the lower spring pocket on the strut and the spindle mount is fixed. It will never change. If the tire clears the strut at normal height, it will be the exact same distance at all times during front suspension travel.
  22. Compressed air at low PSI into line will push the dirt through.
  23. Picked up my steel today... Almost ready....
