Do we know, for sure, the yokes are aluminum? If, they aren't a small tack weld on the caps will hold them. I know that the main shaft is aluminum.

I've always had a problem with people multi-tasking and driving. For crying out loud, you can get a bluetooth headset, at Big Lots, for 10 bucks. Instead you sit at a 4 way stop with 3 other people that can't hit the turn signal, to give you a clue about their intentions, because they are talking on...

The easiest and safest method would be a car/truck dolly and disco the rear drive shaft at the axle and tie it up, out of the way.

Dealt with the HVAC people this evening and forgot to take the photos. At a glance, yours can't hold a candle to my cracks but, I'll get them up and see what you think, Brule. Any ideas on how to show depth using visual aids?

Looks good. Try to report up if, you think the noise is getting louder as they wear.

F9K9

Not to minimize your issue, but how bad are the cracks, really? These have a three ply sidewall. That is pretty substantial............ Exactly my thought process but, I needed a push from someone I respected. .............Understand that a tire shop is in the business of selling new tires............

Exactly as the title says. Last weekend I aired my 33/10.50s way down to lower the tailgate, in an effort to make it a little easier on myself, to load and relocate a large concrete statue in my yard. Once the psi was lowered, numerous small cracks were evident in the side walls. There is plenty of ...

Wallyworld has learned a few valuable lessens, as of late. I took the wife's Cherokee in for a battery issue and had them service it, as well. Whether they actually checked everything, I don't know.

Start soaking all the fasteners. with PB Blaster or Seafoam Deep Creep, daily while you await the kit to arrive. Your location and the age of these trucks will make rust a constant enemy.

Might be a worthy project. You aren't looking to trail ride it and the fuel tank is nicely tucked out of the way.

Forget the RC lift. It will be an exercise in futility, that others have tried, and reported back failures. Save your money and either go the MML route or save up more money and throw some real solid axles under the CC.

Many have had to replace the bushings. It's not hard but, that is dependent on your mechanical ability. Moog was once the standard that others tried to achieve. They have gone downhill in the last few years and do not live up to that reputation now. It's basically a crap shoot on the differences in ...

Nitrogen is a scam, I agree. I always "air" back up with CO2 but, there are a few that carry tanked nitrogen and want to debate the issue. The CO2 is just easy to carry and cheaper to refill my tank. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_EdVPVeddEMU/TEz211PGnqI/AAAAAAAAGHQ/F73R_w436Vw/s640/Rock%20and%2...
