yes, I am a dumbass and cut on the outsideof the four holes, but I made every thing turn out decent.
Runs better. It was cutting out alot at random, like it was not getting fuel for a second. If I gave it some throttle, it would not do it.
I think I need to adjust or "tighten" up the steering box. IS this possible? The steering linkages are all brand new, the gear box is couple years old and pump is not too old, and it was recently aligned. I can turn the wheel alot left/right with not much turning. Just does not feel tight.
I bought a Detroit gift certifacte for any Detroit for $375, so I am just waiting on my rear locker to get hear. It is usualy about $525 new. :gigem:
i dunno what kind of box you have, but mine has an adjusting stud on top. tighten it very little, then check. and so on. if you get it too tight it'll jerk the steering wheel out of your hand while your driving. i dont know if this is a common occurance, but its the result i got from getting mine too tight on my truck in high school.
yeah the proper way to do this is jack it up and put on jack stands then you tighten and loosen till you getit to where it feels better, also john have you checked if the steering shaft coupler or rag joint is worn out.
I suspect the rag joint as well. I am going to mess around with the box tomorrow, see if I can figure it out.Quote:

I think I am really more excited about the sticker :D
If it's goin to be awhile before you get it ready can I borrow your windshield??? ;) ;) ;)
J/K, congrads!!!!
mmmm, tires. 36x12.5 SXs, brand spankin new. Also, finished up the serpentine belt conversion. Headed out to a buddy's ranch for the weekend and am going to see how it all works. It has been a longass 3 years of building it, so I hope it all functions like it should.
awesome, and you're on your, what, 3rd DD since starting on it?
Looks sweet!
:cheers:
Just got back from wheeling this weekend. It has been a long time since I have really wheeled anything, but it came back to me.
The lockers just amazed me. The truck walked up everything I pointed it at. The suspension, axles and motor all worked great. The throttle spring is sticking a little bit, causing it to run pretty high rpms unless I popped the hood and fixed it.
I did get alot of body damage, which I am still getting over :D The drivers's door is trashed, the drivers rear quarter is trashed, the front grill and healight shells, and turn signal took a beating (b/c of no bumper)
Here is some pics...
Most of the drivers damage was done on a tree when KRigg was pulling me out of a creek trail

Looks good let get that bad dude on the rocks. That where the real fun is.
IKKKS!!!!! that body was almost mint befor that trip(well, at least compared to mine).... Oh well, its broken in good now....
