    Diy rock sliders

    Shankem ~ You definitely have neat work . . . is there anyway you could take a couple photos of how your rock sliders go around your gas tank on the drivers side? I'm wondering if I should put a brace on both sides of the gas tank like you or connections under the tank going to the rock...

    Diy steering box brace

    Shankem, nice brace you built. I like how you did your rock sliders on your truck! How did you manage to get around the gas tank on the drivers side? Do you have any pictures you can post up of them? I have the same wheels, it really makes the truck look mean:beer:

    No Detroit locker in rear?

    it verifies that your rear end is locked up. I'm also not saying to haul ass in reverse and slam it into gear . . . Yes I feel a mechanic knows more than a fire fighter about fixing vehicles. I have no problem with difference of opinion but its just like my mechanic telling me that your dumb and...

    No Detroit locker in rear?

    This is what the majority of drag racers do after they burnout and are pulling up to the starting line...he had the truck for about two weeks and after driving it and working on it a couple of different times during that period he noticed the rear end issue. Sorry if I haven't been explaining...

    No Detroit locker in rear?

    Unfortunately I don't have the time at the moment and I feel he is not dicking me around. I was a little concerned when he told me my locker wasn't engaging but this is something that has happened to other people I know as well. If he sucks he would have told me is was broke and try to get me...

    No Detroit locker in rear?

    No offense taken, but I think he's on to something b/c I don't really hear my wheels chirp anymore turning corners(could just be the larger tire size). He's not trying to sell me anything, he did mention that it could last a while or crap out on my next week. I'm going wheeling next weekend so...

    No Detroit locker in rear?

    I wasn't able to look inside the rear end b/c of work, but I do know my locker or posi trac system isn't broke neccessarily. My mechanic said that sometimes rear end would lock into place and other times is wouldn't. My dad had a very similar problem with his corvette and told me to drive...

    No Detroit locker in rear?

    Well first off thanks for all the helpfull responses! When I first bought the truck I know for sure the rear had some sort of locker in the rear b/c when I would go around turns I would get a little chirp from the rear tires. I'm waiting to hear from my mechanic sometime soon and I will take a...

    cb radio install need some ideas

    Hey jd...74, I just moved from Wilmington to Greenville. I've only seen a few M1008's and '09's running around town. If I were to put a CB in my M1008 I would probably go with dueceaid and put it over the rear view mirror.

    No Detroit locker in rear?

    Supposedly my mechanic told me that its not a Detroit locker but a posi-trac system...I'm going to be checking it out personally next week. Do the Detroit lockers have their logo on them? How can I tell the difference? I guess it's possible someone could have taken the Detroit locker out before...
