Working well now, all my old notifications came in as well.

MoJoe

I fell in love with that truck the first time I saw it online. The perfect S10

I thought about keeping mine to do the mods since I found a blown donor ZR2 with great sheet metal. Only down side was that the ZR2 was a std cab.

So that took the wind out of my sail.

MoJoe

Thanks bud, yeah, I might either Line-X the bumpers then color match them, or get custom ones. I also agree about the grille, I am not a chrome fan!

MoJoe

http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/joeypurcell/leftfront.jpg It will look a little different in a few weeks once I get done doing some mods :rock: When I picked it up it was a stock 2001 F250 Crew Cab 7.3 PSD So far I have done the following: 4" stainless turbo back Magnaflow kit with 6" tip DP...

Yahoo and gmail have been pretty good. I am sure that it is probably something with the forum. I checked the settings quickly and ran a few tests. I have yet to receive a notification in the test thread. Not too big a problem, I am sure we will get it worked out eventually. Yeah, keeps me coming ba...

MoJoe

Ok, thanks, hopefully it will work itself out.

MoJoe

I am not seeing any email from the forum, i.e. notifications. Any ideas? I was prior to this 3rd site move, and from other forums it works well. No email blockers involved either.

MoJoe

Thanks for the replies guys. I will clean up the pan and pay attention to it. Also, would it be wise if it is the rear main, to switch back to a dino oil, or possibly a heavier syn? If it wasn't leaking with a particular dino-oil I'd opt to try going back to it and see what happens. Couldn't hurt. ...

MoJoe

Thanks. Still working the light bar. Been working too much at work to get anything done

Oh yeah, and new tires of course!

MoJoe

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I guess that is why we search first. :mrgreen: So, I too switched to Mobil 1 when I bought my truck with 70k miles on it. I now have 79k on it, and have changed the oil twice with Mobil 1. The bottom of my pan is wet, and I get a few drops each day after driving on...

MoJoe

Here are the pics. The main reason I did mine was because it was cracked on the side (not sure how, no other damage than on the plastic) I have some diamond plate laying around I might do something with the sides/corners... http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/joeypurcell/P1060123.jpg http://i49.p...

MoJoe

Ok, so I change my wheel option. My eyes are on the KMC XD122. It is a 15x7 with 4" BS.

I think this will work with a TB crank and light trimming and 30x9.50s.

Opinions on fit?

MoJoe

Not over yet for me, but Happy Friday the 13th to yall as well.

MoJoe

Nice find, thanks for sharing.

MoJoe

Very nice, they look a lot better than I would have thought.

MoJoe

Installed the factory lower shaft with the rag joint and the noise issue is solved. HenryJ called it right when is mentioned the noise dampening properties of the rag joint. After a little research that is one of the rag joints purposes. Still feels like I might be having some other issues, but I am...

MoJoe

I am replacing my gear box, pump and putting a factory lower steering shaft back in to troubleshoot my off/on issues.

Less than 3k miles on this setup.

Asking $50 shipped (I take PayPal) or local pickup for $40.

MoJoe

what is the OD of his billet stock? How much $$ were they? How long did they take from order to ship? I will have to measure them this week, they are as wide or a bit wider than the rims mounting surface, but I will get you a better measurement. Price with have them hub2hub centric was $195 shipped...

Really? He called me back the same day, sometimes within the hour from day one. Hopefully everything is ok with him.

Well worth it in the end.

MoJoe

I have used Fred @ http://www.wheeladapter.com/ for years. Top notch guy, and I like having hub centric 2 hub centric adapters.

Only down side is price, but you get a high qaulity part.

MoJoe

Ok, jacked the front end up when I got home and tested the steering. No issues while in the air, and nothing appears to be binding.

I have to find a trust worthy mechanic to take a look at it. Maybe they will tell me I am hearing things and all is fine

MoJoe

I have checked the lines, and they do not appear to be leaking. I also jacked the front end up a while back and tested it as suggested, but that was with the truck and steering cold. I will try it again after running it for a few miles.

MoJoe

Just a follow-up: Still having issues from time to time. I am going to replace my belt and have the system bled. If that does nothing, I will replace the gear box and pump. I am also removing the u-joint mod when/if I replace the gear box and pump. :?: Additional info: I have zero issues when first ...

MoJoe

Never found a soft cover that does not let a little water in. Mine only allows a few drops or so in during a hard rain. Not near enough to hurt anything in the bed, it is only around the outside rails and stays toward the outside area of the bed.

MoJoe

I want one that will go in between my rails. So do I. I just ordered this tonneau cover for my truck 3 days ago. It hasn't come yet so I can't tell you how it is, but it fits between the ZR5 bed rails. http://www.autoanything.com/tonneau-covers/60A1583A0A0A2608948.aspx I have this same cover. Love ...

MoJoe

Mine gets up and moves fine, just a loud engine bay which seems like it is working harder to me. Watching the RPMs it it not working near as hard as it sounds.

Happy I have 3.73s though.

MoJoe

Great thread, and progress fallvitals. Your CC looks perfect.

Still have these?

MoJoe

Ok, ordering one wheel and will mount a tire to do a test fit and figure out my trim areas. This should identify any other mods I will need to do prior to switching the wheels.

MoJoe

I am sure there will be rubbing at first, I have a few ideas/fixes for after they get installed to address that. I am trying to lift a little as possible for the time being. It will be interesting to see what you come up with. Those would be like trying to run 2" spacers on the front end. Try to st...

I don't think an AT KO exists in that size, the dealer might be confusing it with the BFG Radial T/A http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=BFGoodrich&tireModel=Radial+T%2FA&partnum=57SR5RADTARWL2&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes&place=0 Bang for the buck if you want the BFG AT/KO styl...

MoJoe

The tungsten is just a silverish accent/color on the wheel. Not the actual metal.

From a lot of reviews I have been reading, they seem to be great bang for the buck. I am going to try them out.

MoJoe

Anyone have first hand exp with Black Rock Wheels here?

MoJoe

There is also urethane as well. I was hoping to hear some personal experience.

MoJoe

Ok, it is back. Will start checking things this weekend. I am going to change my oil and the belt anyways.

MoJoe

Just found this thread, I have a few toys.

Glock 20 with a few add-ons
Mossberg 500 Roadblocker
Ruger Mark III SS Target
Benelli SBE2
Looking into some new toys

Multiple Spyderco's
Benchmade 910 S and 9100 AS

MoJoe

Would like to know as well. I would also be installing a hidden hitch along with mine.

MoJoe

Well so much for more TS today. The noise is gone after straight multiple weeks of this. I am not sure who/what/when/where/why, but I am going to keep a close eye on it. How ironic for it to stop after starting a thread... :lol: Doubt it will last, but who knows. Will keep everyone posted after I go...

MoJoe

Will check the belt and try the adjustment tomorrow before I bother taking it in to my shop. Thanks.

MoJoe

Definately not the standard belt noise, but I did not think that could be an option for the problem, I will inspect the belt just incase. Thanks.

MoJoe

Will do, I am going to take it into a shop and have their "opinion" on it; see what they think. I take their diag and just fix the issues myself. I feel bad sometimes by doing that, but it saves me 95% of the time from troubleshooting it myself and maybe getting it wrong. Granted they are not always...

MoJoe

Joey, are you positive of 1. Is it full? Sorry but, we all overlook simple items. 2. Did you use the fluids recommended in your owners manual? On the fluid yes, it was right on the full mark before and after flushing it. It all started a few days after I installed the flaming river joint. I had to ...

MoJoe

Ok, I am trying to self diagnose a steering noise. The best way to describe it would be like having your steering wheel locked hard in either direction and there is a strain on the steering (hissing/moaning sound). It happens now every day in normal driving conditions. When I make a slow turn into a...

Nice, I like that a lot. More room for the kids...

If, your talking tube fenders with flares, it hasn't been discussed before. It would be allot more complicated on our trucks versus The tub on a TJ. Yes, in a nut shell, and the complication I understand when compared to a "Jeep" platform, just curious if it has been discussed and/or executed. Some...

MoJoe

Not to interrupt, but coming from an off-road/Jeep hobby, I have built a few fender/flare setup for my Wranglers. Sure it is a bit easier working with a flat mounting surface, but still doable on our trucks. With that being said, has anyone attempted to build a flare out of a metal? So you would bui...

MoJoe

Can't say I ever heard a bad shock, but you should be able to tell by the ride and suspension rebound. Try pushing up/down on the bumpers 4 or 5 good times to get the front/rear in motion, then stop and watch. If it has a floaty/bouncy response then normally the shocks are going, or gone. It should ...

MoJoe

sweet....let us know how it turns out for you. Finished it up tonight. So I did the mod, a tune-up and some rear adapters... The steering was super easy and would have taken a total of 30 minutes had I not done the tune-up. An easier way to get the rag joint off is to simply take a saws-all and cut...

LMC should have every trim part you need. I just had to order a piece or weather strip for my truck last week for the rear passenger door.
