I tested the GP system; all wires from relay are providing equal voltage from its dedicated wire to each GP spade. Using the test light method touching the spade of each GP and +12V, each one lit up. On my ohm meter, it gives me 1-1.5 ohms from GP spade to threaded body. The voltage comes on...

What ended up fixing the problem? I am having the same issue now. Last week I used the truck daily for work, it always seemed to need a few seconds longer than normal to start the last few times I used it but in the end it would and ran fine. Before its always started easily, although I figured...

Thanks, I hope its not the hubs. I just put tons of work into them last year.... I have an indicator that I have been using to check run-out in places but without any technical guidance on accept or reject criteria and proper places to set the indicator its hard to tell if what I get is good or...

These do not appear to ride the hub either. http://www.hillbillywizard.com/cucv-parts/m1008-cucv-rim/

I wasn't choosing to ignore it, I had read advice given elsewhere in the thread that said it wouldn't be what caused this, so I supposed I was misled. I am ordering a stabilizer right now, I will get some wheels too I suppose. Best source for wheels that ride on the hubs?

I have done this and it doesn't seem to be the source, Besides, these trucks are lug-centric not hub-centric. I just wanted to put out every difference I have found to help anyone else with similar issues. Also I can't run an indicator on the tires, tread pattern is too aggressive. But I did...

I should note, this does not happen with 31" tire and old wheels that sit on the hubs. The new 33" on a different set of wheels that do not make contact with the hub are when it happens. Perhaps the larger wheels amplify the effects and the stabilizer is stressed more having to control bigger...

I updated my post to add shocks, I replaced both front and rear. I did not replace the stabilizer since the shop that did my tires was trying to help me find the issue and they checked all the steering components and said everything is tight. That doesn't mean the stabilizer is in working order...

I appreciate the offer. Looks like I am 5 hours from you though. Bit far for just the panel :neutral:

Update. In spring I swapped winter tires with the rebalanced ones. Hopping is still there, however not nearly as bad as before so it did help. Talked to the driveshaft guy a while back and he said he calculate the balance with some measurements and whatnot because no one in the area actually has...

Bad Vent Panel? I followed your lead and ordered the same parts. Foam wasn't a direct fit but close enough like you said after its trimmed of any overlap. I am having an issue though with the proper sealing of the new door flap. The driver side fits perfect and has a good seal. The passenger...

Forgot to mention I used the a Harbor Freight flare tool. Not the best but with the copper it was so easy to flare and form everything worked fine. I cut a small section of each and kept practicing until I was happy with the flares. Even if its not perfect the flared nuts can kind of shape it...

Yeah I finished the brake and frame job late last summer. I have a bit leftover but messed up a couple sections being my first time so the extra was nice. Thanks for the info, should help others. Couldn't help you with the master cylinder stuff and disks on the rear. I re-did all my bearings...

No, I left what was on it, a lot of it was actually hard line, only a few joints were rubber at the fuel tank, probably a few more further up but I didn't bother since it all looked fine. If you wanted to replace it all with rubber line then you would likely need about 15-18 feet. If you plan...

Quick update. Tire shop had the truck. I had the old tires installed at the time, they took the new ones out of the bed and balanced them. They said they were severely unbalanced :roll:, then told me they must have installed mine when the machine was down. I guess I figured they would tell me it...

Its no problem, my ultimate goal is for people to see what I have done and learn what changed with what work was completed. In my case I know my front drive shaft is good, it also does not spin unless I lock my hubs or put it in 4wd.

Nothing new to report other than I swapped the suspect drum, still get the hop. No time left, going to drop it off at local tire place that said they would help find the source. Hopefully they don't charge much.

I merely stated my thoughts on preventatives after someone mentioned Fluid Film. I already had posted my thoughts on removal with what was asked in a prior post. Edit: correct auto correct...

I would love the company, but no worries. Here is the video of what I did to get the balancer on the crank. https://youtu.be/MAALFgyQt90

Thanks Infidel got me: I replaced everything on both sides, excluding the one hard line going to the hydraulic line as its nearly new. I would probably already have everything done by now if it wasn't for everything else going on. But I did get the new harmonic balancer installed, and managed...
