4th gen is my brothers. I’m a 3rd gen guy. He parked it at my house. I cranked it drove it around, sat for 5 days refused to start, battery died, charged battery overnight crank and drove it next to my barn. Note when it ran it ran fine, smooth no issues. Parked by barn and there it sits...

If you don't have tools and a press, I would have a shop install them. No matter what you will need an alignment afterwards, so just leave it there and have them do the whole shabang. 2nd on the "stay away from Dorman." I said, "yeah right", and installed dormans on my UCA bushings. Failed in...

If its the front brakes, make sure you have the calipers all cleaned up and make sure you have used caliper lube. I live on a bumpy and dusty drive and my calipers were not fully coming off the rotor when i removed pressure from them. I bled the brakes but found no air pockets, cleaned the...

So I cant find the original images. Sorry guys. Photobucket lost them. Ill be posting to imgur from now on.

Anyone know of a better image hosting site? Ill move the pics over and redo the post. Hold that thought Photobucket seems to have lost them entirely, going to have to dig them up from the drives.....

I agree you need an alignment but before you do inspect the following. Inner and outer tie rod ends. Lower and upper Ball Joints. Sway bar bushings, steering rack bushings. Everything you can find with a rubber boot or bushing. Make sure your upper and lower control arm bushings are not shot out...

My cap has no o ring on the inside. Problem #1. Im glad someone else has gone to snug vs torque, going to pull intake and get to these guys this weekend. Snug it is.

I didn't replace the semi circular plugs as they were aluminum and appeared a non serviceable part. I did place the packing (rtv sealant) and I did use a gasket for the valve covers, as i remember buying them and using them. also have my refernce photos when i dressed the motors and they are...

Before I tear into this thing, I want a good direction. PREFACE: Let me say this to put it to rest. I bought and swapped in a new motor as mine showing its age. I lost my job and had a few months off and figured, "screw it, I've always wanted to change a motor and I love this truck" I didn't...

Yes. Yes you do.

Pretty sure when you yank a gear set out of a rear you have to reset the backlash and install a new crush sleeve as all housings are not exactly (think thousandths of an inch) the same, front chunk should be plug and play. I bought a e-locker 4.30 and planned to do the same thing you are doing...

Do another video of the noise. The first video sounds almost 100% like an exhaust rattle. Your video sounds completely different, like a low hum. I had a perpetual exhaust leak behind my cat that took forever to fix and made my truck sound like i cut the exhaust out behind the headers. Couldn't...

X2 on the rear panhard bar. Put a wrench on every bolt on the rear panhard, upper and lower control arms. If you tighten them down and still have sway, replace the bushings with poly bushings. If its bad now wait till you hit 70 and get a cross wind gust. Made me a believer

Define float. Lots of guys have the high speed float (including myself) due to pan hard bar bolts loose, bushings worn. If the steering wheel has a dead spot in the center, and you have somewhere north of 200K. Good Luck. I did outer tie rods, lower and upper ball joints, upper control arm...

Dont have any pics right now, but I just redid my sequoia 5 stars with duplicolor silver from autozone. My sig has my build thread and the wheels should be there. Honestly, just scuff them up and paint the whole rim. Might take you 2 cans, and you can touch them up whenever to match perfectly...
