So I don't see why the bed needed to be empty to install a U joint!!!
It's not like you're going at it through the floor!
I used to pull driveshafts out of loaded trucks all the time!

It doesn't but I wanted to, also made a lot more working space thst really is the reason.

So where's "u-joint repair" fit in there?

Good question, somewhere in the middle of the night probably....

Sounds like excuses to me...

Kind of, have a few maintenance items I want to take care of. In a month I'm going to road trip it hopefully twice in the same week!!!

 

[Babaganoosh]

Road tested and everything is back to normal.

Will it do 80?

Did a run up to 85 and released my foot, smooth sailing.

 

[Bent77]

Nice

At 90 the front end lifts and gets really light and scary. Not until I get a sway bar haha.

Q-jet goodwrench 350

 

[Bent77]

Oh we can fix that

In the grand scheme, this was anti climatic. I expected a shattered sun shell, a broken t case chain and a grenaded G80.

Good work Ben!

 

[Babaganoosh]

Thanks guys, I expected a lot more then a simple u joint.

I've had my 6.2 rig well above 70, it's just a matter of waiting for it to accelerate.

Great works of works Ben. Your works of works are paying off.

 

[sreidmx]

Now we know your troubleshooting methods are suspect.. lol

Hey Ben, do you have a pic showing the grille mounted over the derale cooler? I remember you mentioning some trimming was needed......I just mounted mine and wondering how you did yours.
