what's the point of deleting the vacuum just to replace with compressed air?! its basically the same damn thing just reversed air flow and more unnecessary components!
techjockey quit being a damn cheap skate and go get a real posi-lok system!
works perfect right out of the gate and continues to work perfect!

Pulled a tractor out of the ditch in front of my house. He pulled over to let a truck pass, and got sucked into the snowbank. Took a couple yanks, but, got him out. I didn't really want his money, as it was RIGHT in front of my house... but, he gave me ten bucks anyway. (for five minutes work.....
)
Today, I think I need to change some u-joints in the front axle. That should be fun.

sorry bud, didn't work on my truck when I did mine

I had to torch off my ball joint to get the spindle + hub off, and then it literally took 20 tons of pressure on the press before the hub finally popped out of the spindle.
I was hiding behind stuff while cranking that press jack because of how much pressure was on it.
the steering can't provide 20+ tons of force. sorry bout it. steering trick does not always work for everyone.

Checked front axle joints. They are still tight, and GREASEABLE! So I did. Noise is still there. Think its the CV joint in the drive shaft... Truck is currently in the garage, letting it warm up a bit before I go out and see what my idle issue is all about. Going to clean the TB really good, and see if that helps. If not, replace IAC.
