Today I replaced the steering stabilizer and front shocks to try and reduce the death wobble. Replaced the temperature sensor so my wait light would not come on when the engine was hot. I think that this is what led to a glow plug tip expanding and breaking off in the head. Also, replaced PCV Valve and changed oil and filter. About to start on installing a new hitch and brake controller.

This is how you fix death wobble

What is it about that last pic ?

Cant wait to see matching tires on the rear.

I am in the same boat as you. I really want to swap out tires and be done with it but with retirement and relocating my family, they are going to have to wait a bit. This truck is looking how I envisioned it and more importantly, it's doing all the tasks I had hoped it would. Thanks so much for the compliments.

I'm digging in and replacing the water pump and timing cover gaskets. Also got a new balancer since the old one is looking a bit dried out. Had to take a break to go borrow a puller.

It takes 3k with the 4.11 to hit 60 in your truck?
Is it the box making it slower or what?

At 65 my 4.56 geared cucv with 33 inch tires spins at 3k,70mph it's at 34k and at my top speed of 83 mph it was at 4k.it sees 70mph on a daily basis. I use a GPS for my speedometer.

Adjustability is good, as long as it doesn't lose the proper adjustment. As long as the proper preload is there (the single washer in mine) it won't need any adjustment for a long long time.

No maybe not but i didn't Wana put a washer in and have it not be enough and have to blow it all back apart. So I spent an extra dollar on 2 nuts and 2 bolts haha

Been pretty busy lately, sorting out starting issues. fried glow plug card 20 year old solenoid and bad glow plugs. Got a new card a few weeks ago new solenoid and did the switch to AC60s love it now. Also did the doghead relay fix, seems to start a little better than before, gotta love the clack it makes. have made quite a list thanks to this site. I really want to put some more gauges in my truck, found this picture on here and I like the setup.
