They never told me they were done with it? The lady at the front desk said I never left any contact info, even though someone up there somehow knew my number to call me on monday. I just hope I didn't spend my money on a setup thats just gonna destroy itself in a few weeks
Get some marking paint and check it yourself. Also find someone w/ a dial indicator and check the backlash. That way you at least can find any obvious problems before they get bad.
okay, I just called bryan hoes and they wanted 40+ dollars to extend the stock dodge brakelines that I was told would have been done a week ago. Screw that. Anyone know of a reason not to run the speedway motors stainless steel lines? I didn't really worry about them on the rear, as they just ran along the top of the axle housing, and were static, but worry about whether they will be up to being used on a front axle
Toothpaste works pretty well but you have to use the old skool stuff.Quote:

I've got SS Earl's lines on the front of mine, have for the past 6 years, no problems. Holy **** I just realized that six years have gone by since then. I'm old!!
yeah, its just that the lines are way cheaper than you find elsewhere (13 bucks for a 36" line), so I'm worried they are really low quality and may fail easilyQuote:

they should be DOT approved for em to sell em.
We get it Grayson, China is cool. ISO 9000, Viton, Monel, Hastelloy and whatever else cool buzz words I can't think of right now.Quote:

Okay, got a couple of quick dumb questions here. About how much gear oil would you estimate a D70 will take? Just need a good guess so I know what to pick up on my way out of town saturday morning.
Also, some where on here I heard someone mention a thick dana cover. Thats a stock part, right? How thick is it, and where would you get one? I may need a new cover for my D70 since the fill plug doesn't want to thread back in for some reason. Or I may just weld a plug over the hole, and try to install a new fill plug higher up on the cover.
3 quarts maybe 4
i think a sterling is like 3 or 3.5
ask the counter at the parts store when you buy the stuff
The person behind the counter would probably be a little more helpful then the counter itself.Quote:

hell, what do I look like, I'm made of money? I'm buying the stuff at wally world :flipoff2: And like its been stated, all I ever seem to get are blank stares when I ask a question at a parts store.Quote:

They just build a new Oreilly's there and it is the second best parts store I've ever been to, right after the Napa here in CS.Quote:

Pretty much every Napa I've been to including the warehouse store off of Hardy down in H-Town have always been really helpful. Out of all the major parts stores they have their **** together the most.
that of course being one second longer then it would've taken to proofreadQuote:

tires on rims - these are sexy looking, just hope the H2s are up to the abuse and don't lose beads constantly

after spending to much time fabbing a crossmember that would give me a flat belly, but refused to work without cutting out most of the floorboard, I gave up and ordered one from sky mfg.
http://tamor.us/members-rigs/albums/...0077.sized.jpg
and yes, I know one bolt is missing. The nut in the frame is stripped out. I may just weld that plate to the frame, though it will make it more difficult to remove the rest of the crossmember
Rear D70 with discs and f150 springs - the springs gave me about 2 inches more wheelbase. The rear fenderwells will need to be trimmed a fair amount. The shock mounts are in, but that one shock is just hanging there for mock up purposes in the pic
http://tamor.us/members-rigs/albums/...0075.sized.jpg
the rear axle is 65 inches wms to wms, and with the H2s the tires tuck in pretty nice
http://tamor.us/members-rigs/albums/...0074.sized.jpg
Looks pretty trick.
The H2's always look good.
I still need to put the spacers on the front axle and build the shock mounts before putting on the front tires. You can kinda see how I currently have the hydro assist ram mocked up. One end mounts to a adjustable clamp on the tie rod. The other end has a hiem on it, and will mount to a tower welded to the axle near the driver side spring perch. Mounting it as I have, high and above the tie rod, will allow me to use the full travel and keep the ram out of the rocks. And should I decide to go full high steer, I shouldn't have to remount the ram
