fixed some stuff!!! i like it
bled my front brakes again. seems that there was still a bunch of air in the system from replacing the lines. it really helps when you got 2 people doing it and not just yourself its like a whole new brake system, my front brakes, actually work now!!
and i messed with my carb some today too. got the calibration kit for the edelbrock 1806 650cfm thunder series, yesterday. changed the jets and rods in it. went 1 stage leaner on the primaries and 1 stage richer on the secondaries. dont know performance wise, it feels like it has a little better part throttle response, and it doesnt smell like gas fumes anymore. other than that,i wont know until i go to the track again. and i'm gonna need to get my front end rebuilt before i get gears. the steering and all that stuff just plain sucks now. at times, its kinda scary |

I know what you mean. Last shop said they couldn't align the front end because my ball-joints were gone. I constantly have to move the wheel back and forth to keep it straight. The wide tires magnify it and road imperfections too. Does AGR make a steering box for these trucks because that would be awesome. I'm thinking about getting a steering stabalizer too. They DO make them for 2wd in this body style.

If you can't be safe driving it 45 MPH, you can't be safe at 95 MPH. Suspension, steering, etc. are extremely important if you value your life and your truck.
