2000 GMT400 CREW CAB SFA SWAP-The Warden: Fuel leak fixed and awaiting surgery…
- Thread starter GWeakland620
- Start date
The ultimate goal for this truck is tow duty/family camping trips/small offroad adventures.
This is true. My 03 is an awesome rig. Biggest problem with a Cummins is the fanboys have driven the prices stupid high.
That, and the vehicle associated with them kind of suck. I absolutely hate the Dodge interiors.
Have to disagree , have a 2000 GMC and 1998 dodge both are base model trucks with crank windows . Both have over 200k the dodge interior is nicer and in much better shape , and seems much better laid out.
I suppose most of what I have encountered has just not been taken care of well. The only other info I have to back that up, is we get an insane amount of request for Dodge interiors, and we are not able to sell it due to the poor quality that is in most trucks.
That's it.
I always laugh when someone says ford, dodge or Chevrolet is better.
It's a preference thing, I like the styling, the way the running gear is setup and I am sure it makes a big difference that my first 3 vehicles were Chevy, pure coincidence on that.
These came in to work today. The front 4 will get split between the Jimmy and this truck. The rear socks will go on the diesel. Then both truck will have Fox shocks on all 4. Getting all 6 for $250.
Well they’re on. Test drive in the morning.
I found my ride quality issue.
Any suggestions?
Links, coilovers, bypasses and air bumps.
Broken bolt? Wasted bushing?
Take it apart would be the obvious place to start.
Add a front driveshaft.
I would bet it's a bad bushing.
Looking at it closer, why does it look like there's a spacer on the left side? Do you need to use a bushing with a wider shoulder?
Both bushings are toast. The shackle rubbing the frame is not good. Is something else causing the spring to push to the side? What does the other side look like?
I would like to see the other side as well. Are your spring perches on the axle you used possibly too wide apart for the shackle kit? No doubt the bushings in the pic have age, but there’s something forcing the shackle out towards the frame.
The spacer is the same concept as the dodge bushings for GM to Dodge Dana 60's.
Perhaps I need to go back and measure as maybe my spring width is still too wide.
