why are you getting a new ram?
I have a discount with Randy's R&P but it's just enough to cover the shipping at this point. Wish it was more, but that's all I've been able to come up with...
To 'slow' down the steering just a touch and give it a bit more leverage to push the tires around. At speed, the steering can be touchy. The body roll is partly to blame, but just the slightest touch on the steering wheel causes it to move pretty good.Quote:

List of ****...
Gears for 60 (they are trashed pretty good right now) and rear axle shafts for the 70 (The pattern is a 3.56" spread on the axle,) (Yukon is a sponsor of the event and I should be able to get them at a discount/free I hope) still waiting on info
New Flange for front of atlas (from high angle, this will make it easier to remove the shaft if needed)
Power Steering Pump (psc) on it's way w/ a 3"x9" ram (screw you kopecki!) :flipoff2:
starter (get from napa for the warranty)
headers (from mpsc) on their way
Thoughts on swaybar? Modify a factory one, or try and get an aftermarket to work?
I have asked about this before, but have never made time to do anything about it. Seems a factory would be 'easiest' as it would mount right in place and may just have to fab up some connecting bars. The old one has been swallowed up by the metal gnome we had living out at the ranch, so I would still need to source one.
why do you need sway bars with a leaf setup? i dont think it is needed from what i have seen
it has a good deal of body roll but I think that it is induced by the anti wrap bar more than anything else
mota is built, as soon as i get the right pan gaskets it will be going in!
pictures dammit
The headers are on their way I believe. I haven't recieved a tracking # yet though. This is the picture of what they sent me.

ya thats what we got, for some reason i thought u had 5.13 as well
maybe that's what the green axles had in them? I don't really remember now.
Did you ever get a chance to figure out what size aircleaner would work? I need to call the amsoil rep next week if possible so he can get the swag on the way.
yeah 4.56s sound right for those axles
the intake hat i have designed i need to use a flat rectangle oneQuote:

Caught a sneak peak at it today. Look to be coming together nicely. Though I am not sure how those rear shackles have made it this long.;)
They are made from unobtanium.... :laughing:
(They need to hung on the mantle, that is for sure. :D )
as long as you don't hit things with the shackles they really don't see any side loads
less then a 1/2in of material is supporting the truck:rolleyes:Quote:

Holy fawk was the pinion hitting the Detroit? I'd kick whoever set those in the junk and get your cash back, unless the pinion nut backed off or something.

Pretty sweet!:gigem:
Just realized i posted this in a for sale thread for a water tank....
im not claiming to be correct here, but i think if the headers were glowing due to a lean condition, the valves would be toast. I'm guessing fuel burning in the headers is why they were glowing. you cant run a lean engine hard and live to tell about it generally.
so, what makes you guys think its lean? im concerned if you start leaning it out trying to fix the problem it might burn something. Any reason not to fatten it up first and see if that gets better? does it have O2 sensors?
glowing headers can mean lean or rich, its not really a tell all symptom. You very well could be right John, as one this thing is running, there is never a lean backfire. We had the wideband o2 to moniter A/F ratio, that being said the numbers were in the safe range, but I think its a time issue and misfire keeping it from its full potential. After Flem and I spent the day at FIS in SA, i think there is a chance of some dyno tune time, but that is all up to Ed
