Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Check and see if the u bolts are tight enough. Also, did you change the fluid in the rear end? Finally, remove the wheels completely and put them back on.
I had a car with a wicked vibration. Took off the wheels to inspect a couple things and found nothing until I put the wheels back on and notice a little catch that very slightly kept it from seating all the way. A few licks with a rat tail file in the lug holes and it tightened up really well. Steven

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I drove around town, stopped at the local hot rod restoration shop and had the body guy take a look at my fenders and bed. My starter has been a little slow lately so I thought today would be a good day to change it. I jacked the truck up and pulled the old one out. Looked kinda weird but off to the parts place. They don't have one to match and I had no idea what year my motor is so I drive home, get the numbers off the block and search. I find out what the motor is and go back to the store. They still don't have a match then I realize it's a high torque starter. Duh! Get the right starter and oil change stuff since the truck is in the air anyway. Find out I don't have the right bolts, back to the parts store, find out I need bigger wire connector thinggies, back to the store. Get everything on, change the oil and fire it up. No smoke, fire or sparks. No oil gushing out life is good. Grab the dog head down to the Jr. High do some doughnuts in the parking lot for the skaters and head home. Who woulda thought it would take 7 hours to change a starter and oil?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Another quick thing to try is flipping the driveshaft 180 degrees from the way you have it mounted.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Finally got around to replacing the water pump today...well actually tonight after work. It's amazing how much quieter it is! The bearing in the old one was shot, but it wasn't leaking out of the weep hole yet. I swear these 6's are bullet proof!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
That's going to be one NICE 62. Keep up the great work.
Seeing the pics of the body work your are doing makes me a little sick, because last weekend I just bent the rail above the grill (the one in your last pic) and have to try to bend it back out as much as possible without damaging the existing paint.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Waiting for PorterBuilt crossmember install for the fronts 18x8 and 255/40 Nitto 555s.
Parts and powdercoat on list. Money money and more money. Plus just got a Dodge Cummings one ton 4x4. Only if Chevy had solid axle. Work better pickup. Posted via Mobile Device
