I replaced the shocks and rotated the tires and have since made 2 trips up north in Az (about 300 mile round trip each) Tire wear is even now and am not having the choppy tread wear I was having before. One of the shocks I took off (driver's side) was almost completely froze up. Also the truck...
Thanks for all the great information people. Am going down to Napa after I post this and order a new set of front shocks and then rotate a tire from the back up to the front and see how that goes. I checked the toe in and tire pressure and all is to spec. I'm headed up north again in 2 weeks...
It is just one side and it wore down in a very short time, I have had these tires on for about 2k miles and never rotated them and all was looking good until the last 2 trips up north I made, about 200 miles each trip. I'm pretty sure I could use new shocks but would that cause such extreme wear...
Hi all,
I am having a tire wear issue I am sure many of you could give me great advice to repair. The outside tread on the passenger side front tire only is wearing down fast and cupping. Attached are a couple photos that I hope are good enough to show the problem. This happened in about...
Possibly be a bad MC? I have bought rebuilt ones in the past and had em die almost immediately. Poor workmanship happens if you got it from a parts store. Might want to barely crack a easier to get to wheel cylinder or even the airpack bleeder and give the pedal a pump and see if any fluid is...
Have you tried bleeding the brakes again? Maybe the first time you didn't get all the air out and it has worked its way to a critical area. Just a thought. Also would check the fluid level in the MC again.

I believe the vent tube is needed. It vents the MC and also keeps water and...
I added a reese hitch under my truck so I can pull my car trailer with it, the only problem I have is running a 12 volt trailer behind a 24 volt truck the bulbs glow really brite but not very long. You will wipe out the bulbs in a Uhaul trailer in the first couple miles. I am trying to figure...
I don't know the wieght but it cant be too extreme. I have taken mine off too many times already doing frame mods and paint. I use a cherry picker (engine hoist) on each side in the middle and hook to a chain run down the center stake hole . Balances out fairly well, the tailgate adds just a bit...
I have never had any problems with my brakes but I have tested downshifting and applying the parking brake just so I know I can bring it to a fairly fast stop if I ever do experience total brake failure. It is pretty easy to bring it to a stop using this method, unless your on a downhill from...
