Hey Aaron, I saw your brother's truck driving by my house. Nice truck! I'm surprised he didn't give a salute like Deacon does.

Yeah Tim, hes a not-so-lil bassturd. I was sorta pissed when he got the truck seeing as he was 17 at the time and doesnt have to make any payments till hes done with school..... but his VP also died in western NY near my aunts house so he was stuck there for about 4 days while a dealer made the repairs. the best part is now hes got 3000 extra hes gotta pay off.:smilielol: The truck is clean but the front end is ready to fall out of it (balljoints/tierods/ect...), so hes got his work cut out for him...


Matt can you believe he brought that girl to the Mcdonalds drive-thru the first time he took her out? instead of waiting for a table at pizza palace or finding another resturaunt he takes her to a fast food joint. :loser: Effin Jarred...

Get him to buy the ball joint press tool. Matter of fact, we should all chip in and buy that tool, it's like 400.00 Makes the job a lot easier.

Thats not a bad idea! We did Jeffs whole front end last weekend except wheel bearings. We did a pretty good job with just his trusty BFH and some mild heat(1 out of 4). His balls joints also arent the same design as ours either. You can rent a press from advance auto parts for a deposit of 100 bucks, which is more cost effective but who knows what the tool quality is like??? its prolly some POS generic press...

Let me know when you are gonna do yours. Mine are still good, but should replace them soon to stay on top. We should see who has interest in the kit, it would be mint if we could get it down to 25.00 or so pp. I would say use Moog ball joints, cheap, and better than oem.

To start me, you, your bro, and who knows who else will chip in. I'll ask Pat (you might know him, from Torrington, just bought truck).

Yep, he did well with that truck. He could of done better if the deal with the TDR member from Colorado didn't back out. That Colorado truck is sweet. The guy boned us (Pat) though.

You can call me every 15 minutes like Jeff and Aaron to ask questions when you are changing your ball joints. :falldownlaugh: :smilielol:

Ring Ring; "Hey Matt, what do you know about adjustable ball joints?" Ring Ring, Ring Ring, "Are you sure they come out like that?"
