Re: SoCal checkin' in
Im going to have to agree, after you clean it up, try mounting the driveshaft, if it mounts up tight and no slop or play. Go for a test drive, if you dont feel any vibration I would say your good until your ready to change it.
But again, you have to feel safe before you can drive your truck. Trust me we all understand. |

Re: SoCal checkin' in
Guys,
Earlier today I sent John over here for some advice because I could not think of a better way for him to get like minded advice and local sources/contacts. Being up in the desert probably 90 miles away I'm not much help and airbag installtions are pretty foreign to me as well.

Re: SoCal checkin' in
Vince ;
Consider taking a Welding Class @ Trade Tech , it's a good school and I know many who've enjoyed the learning . Practice makes for perfection , gather up some scrap fenders and have at it .
