I go to a carwash after I have let some degreaser sit on the gunk for a few hours when put a plastic bag over my aircleaner and powerwash away!

Thanks dude. Sounds good :] I got the offer to buy a Holley High Rise manifold and a EdelBrock 600-650 carb for only 150$s..

[Chlsnk]

That sounds like a sweet deal I think it will be a million times better than your stock set up.

[jgh64pkup]

pressure wash it and then clean it with degreaser, carb cleaner or brake cleaner any should work

[Dudewith4x4]

Ever broke a header bolt off in the block?

[jgh64pkup]

[Dudewith4x4]

Well Im scared of breaking on off lol. These headers have been on there since... IDK! lol.

you said it or you have 3/4t axles for it.

the truck does nto have 3/4t axles in the pic.

a 3/4t d44 is exactly the same axle shafts as a 1/2t, there is absolutely no gain in swaping in a front 3/4t other than matching wheel patterns.


and if you flip the little arms down and put a load on it you are going to bend your axles.

those little arms are going to keep the suspension from squating but are going to do absolutely nothing for axle wrap which is the real parts buster.

My truck Supposably has a edelbrock intake and carb. This sounds better so I think Ill take it and sell my old edelbrock stuff.. Maybe make some money for some new interoir parts or something else? Why part of my project should I start with everyone?

[jgh64pkup]

suspension

[Dudewith4x4]

When I was at oreillys I was talking to a guy that for pulling you gotta build a bracket that has a fold down block that stops it from going all the down on the axle when you have a load on. Ever heard of that?

[jgh64pkup]

i dont get what your sayin?

[GMC91]

Nice truck there, at least you can still drive yours. Mines in pieces lol. But thats why I also have a 91 daily driver.

[Dudewith4x4]

I got a 99 f150 daily driver. Here Gage If this helps. lol

[Dudewith4x4]

See how it wont let the axle go all the way up the frame when your pulling or have a heavy load.

[jgh64pkup]

yeah i get it sorta

[Dudewith4x4]

Its mostly for pulling. You can fold it up when Your not pulling.

Im thinking of getting rachet type rear lockers.. what do you think?

[jgh64pkup]

as long as its not a gov lock
thats what i have and ive heard you will destroy it quick

[Dudewith4x4]

I wanna locker but not alot of money to spend though.. And Im NOT welding the spyders togeather..

[jgh64pkup]

spool?

[Dudewith4x4]

Remember dude.. Dont know **** >.<

[jgh64pkup]
