What have you done to your ride lately?

ADS or King

 

[TacoXpo]

King... they blow my old Fox away!!

All dependent upon tune. I am glad you are so happy. I've never tried them. The quality certainly seems good.

Did upper control arms this weekend. Had to replace some faulty wheel speed sensor wiring while I was in there, too:

Looking good. I like the half steel bumper with OE fenders.

How did the winch fit? Did you have to relocate the solenoid? I'm looking at the same winch for mine.

I'm not done wiring it up yet, but the solenoid will need to be relocated. The clutch handle will also need modification. There's a horizontal line that has clearance issues with the handle.... not sure if I'm going to heat & bend or try to move the line.

It is that time again for me. New spindle gussets to put on and need to figure out an open speed sensor too.

Drove it at lunch today and got this horrible squeaking noise from underneath. It varied dependent upon throttle position. I suspected driveshaft so I drove it home and swapped trucks. For shits and giggles I reached under the truck and the DS feels right. I jacked the front end up to check unit bearing and it seems fine but my UCA bushings are shot. Called up wheelers and ordered two complete sets. One as a backup. I'll dig into it more this evening because I really think there was some DS noise as well.

I had to cut my handle and extend it out another 4 or 5in. I just used a cheap 3/8 extension and cut the ends off and had my cousin weld back

That sounds like your carrier bearing on the driveshaft a 100%. Was the truck vibrating too?

 

[Silverback]

no carrier bearing. truck not vibrating.

 

[Anathollo]

no carrier bearing. truck not vibrating.

Oh yeah that's right. You have a 1-piece DS.

 

[Silverback]

I'm pretty sure the majority of the high pitched squeaking was the UCA bushings (they are now on order) the other noise I was getting a sensation from was a sorta growling under load and off load. I was also getting some vibes at about 75-80MPH. So I am suspecting the DS has something going on in it. That being said I ordered a new one of those as well.

 

[Silverback]

I was never a fan of the non-serviceable u-joints so the one I am having made will have Spicer servicable units in it. Mine now has those "sealed" ones and I just hate not being able to grease them.

Same here. Pisses me off.

Get a 1350 or a yota cv and it shouldn't have any problems again

 

[Silverback]

well I asked about that. They have a custom flange made but its only for 1310. Kinda sucks. I got 30k out of this last DS. Not too bad.

 

[taco4x4rar]

I wouldn't put a 1310 cv there, the yota cv will match up with the pilot but the flange will have tobe re drilled or replaced for the yota cv.

 

[Silverback]

Maybe next time. I'd love to have a 1350 in there and a beefier CV. I just didn't want to drop a grand and I need it fast. I need to get the truck inspected ASAP as the registration runs out in less than 2 weeks.
