Dudewith4x4 · 12-20-2009, 11:02 PM

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!

Dudewith4x4 · 12-21-2009, 07:38 PM

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 · 12-21-2009, 08:41 PM

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

Dudewith4x4 · 12-21-2009, 08:44 PM

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 · 12-22-2009, 12:30 AM

suspension

Dudewith4x4 · 12-22-2009, 12:36 AM

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 · 12-22-2009, 12:38 AM

i dont get what your sayin?

GMC91 · 12-22-2009, 12:58 AM

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 · 12-22-2009, 01:05 AM

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

Dudewith4x4 · 12-22-2009, 01:06 AM

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

jgh64pkup · 12-22-2009, 01:14 AM

Dudewith4x4 · 12-22-2009, 01:17 AM
