Nereaga's Truck Thread
Hey Guys,
Being that I am finding all the fun stuff that a 30-40 minutes test ride didn't show with regards to my truck, figured I'd just start a thread.
Just for ****s and giggles I went and checked the oil, been about 1K miles since fresh oil change. Well, loosing it! Plenum was checked AND SEEMED like no oil was pooling in intake and I will still be getting that taken care of, plate is in hand!
Looked under truck and found this, back BEHIND the oil pan, like where the tranny meets....
Also have started to notice a knocking sound, like metal on metal when hitting bumps. I noticed that the stabilizer bar bushings are all cracked on both sides of bushing on both sides of truck. Could this be the culprit? I looked in the haynes manual and they look easy to replace.
Thanks Guys!

If you feel the knock in the steering wheel, the bushing on the bottom of the column out under the brake booster might be bad. http://www.rocksolidramtrucksteering.com/

I thought about this also, but if the knock is derived from hitting bumps, i suspect suspension problem first, then the rocksolid if suspension is all good. I had a similar issue and installed the rocksolid....problem was original shocks at 134,000 miles, with worn bushings.
But I don't feel that the rocksolid fix was wasted money, as the bushing in the colum was worn. I had so many issues to start - where do I begin!
