a friend of mine has an 83 K20 i sold to him and he has been using it really hard for that year now, hauls heavy trailer loads to peoria almost daily and yanks and tugs and pulls trucks cars and stuff out of places where they been abandoned for years so he can haul them to scrap
the truck has G80 gov lok in it it i worry about it, i cannot believe the axle has not blow up yet but it hasnt,
i think he is gonna have a big problem when it blows up finally and it coudl be at any time, who knows when, i hate riding in the truck with him to peoria cuz i am paranoid about the axle blowing up, i try telling him all the time he needs to find a 3.73 14 FF but he couldnt care any less
i havent gone on any trips in the truck with him for a couple months and i wont again,
he doesnt have functional seatbelts in the truck either, he cut them for some odd reason i dont know, so when that axle blows on him and if it does it on the freeway then its not gonna be pretty
what he has put that truck through has be dumbfounded as to how the axle is still in one piece,
ive seen 14 ff gov lok blow up just by looking at them wrong and this one is still doing good, somehow, by miracle i guess
however a couple months back when we were out in the country pulling an F250 out of some woods so we could load it on the car trailer i saw driver side tirestop skipstop skipstop on the grass and make a click sound each time it skipped, this was at very slow speed trying to yank this ford out of the woods, it was caught up against another car and a tree so he was yanking damned hard, the end of back bumper of the ford truck dug in and ripped the rear quarter of the car it was next to and got caught on it real bad, he heard the click click click from under back of truck too and he was like "what was that" and i was like i dunno,
i wasnt gonna evne try to say anything, i dont gave up on trying to tell him he is risking it,
maybe some gov lok are bullet proof ?
lol
i dunno
