It's gonna be hard to hook that rascal without bump stops, not legal in your class ? ? ?

It will be tough but were goin in the right direction now, This week were gonna pull 2 leaves out of the front to get it down, were also puttin a sway bar on. I also have a buttload of frame flex, so we've already started fabbing some frame stiffeners. Also gonna swap exhaust housing to make it spool a little slower.

 

So after not being able to sleep I stayed up all night trying to figure out my suspension issues in the rear of the 90 by watchin old youtube videos of my truck, And i think I got it figured out now. And yes it was somthing super simple. Now this morning its off to a local u pull yard to scavenge some stuff and when we get back we'll bust out the welder and rearange some stuff.

 

What is wrong with it?

Thanks to a buddy of mine, I am getting a free set of traction bars. He quit pulling and is unloading it off on me.

So the other night I had a mishap... I learned a valuable lesson to boot. Someone unlocked my hubs when I was waiting in line, but at the track watching my friends pull. I left my truck unattended for 30 mins.

So I came back last night.

I beat 5 other trucks out of 30+ truck field. Mostly Duramaxes that had front end or bouncing issues.

my friends still haven't got my pull up from last week or last night, but I did do a quick in cab vid of last nights pull. I think I took 2nd or 3rd this time out of 6 trucks in 3.0 class. Got beat by the stinkin common rail that wins everytime.

But all in all I'm still very impressed with the ol truck and am liking the 14mm VE so far. It was nice to load up my weights in the bed, drive about an hour, pull, then load back up and drive it home in one piece.

 

Just got some newish AT tires. 33x12.5x16.5 tires and wheels. Now to build the brackets for the traction bars.

 

You probably just forgot to lock em in jon.

I rearanged the angle and location of my rear shocks, it also got a newish set of Rs5000s. Today we put a sway bar on the front and tomorow were fabbing in a big front bar off an excursion onto the rear of my truck.

 

pulling the crew, won the class against three newer trucks.

Nice pull

 

Hooked mine again tonight, Woulda ended up 2nd but had a little carnage and got DQd for puttin pars on the track. Tonight I was running bars blocks and hangin weights. It was a short tack and they had the sled set Heavy.

Even though we tore it up and got DQd I am very pleased with how it ran. I put 15ft on the guy behind me and was only 6ft off the leader when she broke. I think I coulda got the winner but..........

 

Wow, nice work. Where was that one at?

 

Sarpy county fair in Springfield NE. You shoulda come down, You probably coulda had the mod class. There was only 3 trucks that made it down the track out of about 8 or 10

 

Thats pretty good for your week link to be the shaft, that looks to be in good shape, not all rusty and week.
