Sounds great! I wish mine responded that well to throttle input.
It's gonna be a great rig when you do the body work.

 

yea if anything ill just do the rear wheel wells parts are cheap for that ill just get this guy i know to cut them off and weld in the new ones and ill do the paint job just to touch it up find same color spray paint lol shes going to be a bush truck for a while then one day ill make it reaaal nice lol

 

You lit the tires up yet? The 400 makes it pretty easy once it's warmed up.

 

yea i lit one wheel up :/

 

Meh, it's still fun even though I'm used to a posi. It still makes a lovely sounds and scares punk kids out of the road.

 

hey guys so been a while i cant wait be drive my truck !! lol been about 3 weeks since ive seen it ! stupid work haha. anyways so before i left the steering is getting bad the steering shaft is calling it quits. anyways so i got it priced out for the part and everything but the guy i was talking to he said go online and find a knuckle joint replacement because its much stronger and will last alot longer then the stock one and will help tighten the steering up. does anyone know were to find this?

http://www.jcwhitney.com/dorman-oe-r...50226y1981g2j1 is this what he is talking about?

 

They usually go bad at the rag joint, so I'm assuming that's what he meant. It's the hunk 'o nylon the two halves of the shaft bolt to. The stock replacement can be found at nearly any parts store for $15, and its pretty universal. It looks like a nylon donut with 4 holes in it.

The generally accepted upgrade is this http://www.summitracing.com/parts/br...dge/model/w150

The stock rag joint replacement will wear out again. The borgeson shaft should have far less "normal" play, and could outlast the truck.

 

yea thats what he was talking about its been 3 weeks since i talked to him had it all on piece of paper but my gf lost it haha... aka threw it out. so i couldnt remember at all what it was. so if i orderd that part right there that should be the one to replace the one i need?

 

If you order the one I hyperlinked to, it will replace your whole steering shaft. It is an upgrade. You don't need to do it, but you can if you want to get your steering as tight as possible.

At a minumum, you will need this http://www.summitracing.com/parts/br...dge/model/w150

I opted to replace just the stock nylon coupler last summer. It's still good 12,000 miles later.

 

*threadjack*
Will you hear it when the rag joint goes out? Or does it just get sloppy?
