Yeah I put it up for sale pretty high to see if anyone would bite, had a TON of calls and got my full asking price so I let it go. Probly not right away but at least a 2500, a Duramax is what I really want but not sure I'll be able to afford it.
Im sure you do, but this is AMERICA! I would use it more than a lot of people I know with Diesels. Like I said, I wouldn't mind a truck equipped like yours too.

Good lord I hope that isn't indicative of how all CUCVs perform.
Yep they all suck, prove us wrong.
He's alive! In his defense, it had pretty bald tires and is stock other than a lift.
That was a frustrating 9 min to watch

Ever since I put a straight tie rod on this thing, it tries to death wobble every chance it gets. The slightest bump in the road will set it off and just about every time I hit the brakes. Almost seems like its getting worse. SO ANNOYING!
I might have damaged my steering dampner when I cought it on a few rocks at Tuttle. Im going to put a HD one on and see if that helps.
I had the same thing when I put the 52's in the front with an ez inch and moved the axle forward an inch. Once I did my hydro assist, not even a hint of death wobble. If you want to look at my thread again, I was less than $300 into my hydro assist and it's working like a dream now. I had to work some kinks out of it, but now it's awesome. I even splurged a little and got a full d60 diff cover with the ram assist mount from diy4x. So you could save some more if you don't go that route. If it is really annoying, this might be your next step with this rig
Do hydro assist. John may still have a HD tie rod from ORD.

But hydro assist isn't actually fixing the source of the problem is it? Just not allowing it to happen....
What's really the difference? All I know is I don't even have a hint of death wobble. The problem is in the design. After my brother and I had a long talk with ORD, they mentioned how DW is really always going to be there, especially when you are going to large tires on an axle that was never engineered to do that. Hydro assist really just helps to eliminate it, but it will always be there

Make sure your toe is set right. Plus any wear in the tie rod ends will cause bad steering. Why don't you try taking the steering stabilizer off and driving down the road a little ways to see if the problem gets better. Then you know that's what it was.
