What did you do to your GMT today?

[HARDTRAILZ]

Got some thing painted and laid out for install tomorrow. Ought to look fairly decent I think

 

[gmcman]

Chasing slow starting/ weak battery issues.

160-180A cold cranking amp draw, reman alt charging at 14.6 volts which IMO seems slightly high but doesn't go above 14.6V, 14.5-14.6 when running and changing loads.

My trusty Optima yellow top may be on it's last leg, slow charging now to see how it does. Someone at Batt-plus about 8 years ago told me he had his yellow top put on a shaker and brought it back to life. Not sure what type of shaker but gives me an idea, don't really like the idea of it but will do some research.

Did that work?

 

[Fire06]

Mine have always creaked. Oiled and lubricated them various stuff and they still creak.

 

[BoldAdventure]

Just ordered a set of Skyjacker rear springs for the TB.

 

[kjkim93]

Today I swore at it after a drive. I'm getting to much vibration in my steering wheel when I make a left or right turn. Seems like my pumps going -_-. Why can't all this shit happen all at once

 

[Phantom]

Did that work?

Yes it did. Thank god!

 

[xtitan1]

Yes it did. Thank god!

Oh cool, yeah I can't seem to get mine to stop doing it no matter how much grease I shoot in there

 

[Fire06]

Did you grease the slider or the hinges or both

 

[xtitan1]

Did you grease the slider or the hinges or both

I'm not sure about the terminology. There were exposed silver hinges that were pretty simple looking. I hit those. Then there was also this thing that you had to remove a rubber grommet where a hinge went into what looked like ball bearings. I'm pretty sure that's the thing that makes your door stop from just flying all the way open. I sprayed grease all in there as well and then put the grommet back in place.

 

[Fire06]

Thanks i will try that

Continued with pre-winter prep work. Clay barred then applied polishing compound to the roof, then waxed it. Clay barred and waxed about 3/4 of the rest of the truck too.

Finally put my Cragar Soft 8's on.

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

Specs on those?

 

[jrSS]

Those wheels do look cool. No center cap??

 

[Fire06]

Looks good
Needs a center cap

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

Wheels are just too wide for the tire and the holes in the center make it look incomplete. Easy fix with some center caps. Good stance though and for as cheap as those steel wheels are, they are made good and strong.

 

[Playsinsnow]

Wheels and stance look good!


Some wheels look better without the caps IMHO. To repeat...You get center caps?

 

[jrSS]

Broke her today. Transmission toast.
Good thing for warranty OR is it??
Pic b4 she goes on a flatbed to have surgery.

WTH happened this morning? Why would the warranty be a bad thing? Been "racing"?

Prepped for winter already?

 

[05tbowner]

Specs on those?

17x8 Cragar Soft 8's with 1" adapters. About 1" of poke, but I like the stance. It's going to sit a little lower after winters over. I think the wheels were around $380sh shipped to my door, and the adapters were around $140. I'm happy with the stance, everyone says it looks super aggressive when I'm behind them.
