What did you do with your truck/shop today

[kstruckcountry]

Frankly, I'd leave the antenna on. If the antenna is hitting you know the roof isn't far behind, and with a lifted pickup that could definitely be a concern.

Hung at a Stealership.

Could you have a worn out pully or tensionor?

Wouldn't hurt to run a tape measure from roof to ground, and sear that number into your brain. Definitely a good number to know!

 

I had just a stock '94 K1500 that someone had cranked up the torsion bars on. Went to this hole-in-the-wall carwash after work - noticed the clearance was looking pretty close. I asked the guy, " Am I gonna make it here or what?" He says, " Sure - plenty of room." OK! So in I go ............. BAM!! SCREEEEEEEEEEEEECH! The metal spindles for the spinning brushes slammed down on my roof, dragged a pair of 4" wide gouges parallel to each other, then, formed opposing lower-case "h" patterns as the brushes moved away from each other. Destroyed my roof. Lucky for me, the guy shared a building with a body shop - 100% paid for, fixed right, and no insurance involved. Worked out good ... but LESSON LEARNED!

Those were changed with belt four months ago.

Just ran over a dead deer going 70 mph heading to South Carolina messed up the little rear mud flap it front of the rear tire hit it dead on the front driver side thank god ive a little lift level

[Jsdirt]

Yikes - glad that's all that happened!

 

 

I just finally found the source of the non-stop rattling over bumps that was coming from the rear of the truck. Sounded like I had a bed full to the top of brake rotors, and every time I hit bumps, CLANG BANG ... drove me nuts for a year and a half. After going down a chuckholed dirt road today, I said THAT'S IT - fixing this TODAY.

 

Turns out, the upper mount for my airbags was totally loose, and slamming into the frame. When the truck sits, you can't move anything - all feels solid. But, if you jack the truck by the frame, and let the axle hang halfway so the bags are totally unloaded, the play was obvious.

 

Amazing how much that SOB rusted in 1.5 years. Covered in used motor oil & Fluid Film too. Thought I was going to bust the bolt off in the frame. Got it out thankfully. Wire wheeled the hell out of the bolt, threw medium Loctite on it, ran it in, then slathered the top of the threads sticking out in the frame with anti-seize. Hopefully I won't have to remove them again .. but that should make things a little easier.

 

Debating whether or not to throw my summer wheels on or not. Been hearing rumors of snow again though ...

^^ That sounds like my hitch bouncing around on the butt of my truck. I need to find some shims or something to shove in there to quiet it down a little bit.

[Jsdirt]

Yeah that's exactly what it sounded like going down the road, only about 10x louder - I could feel it in the floor, too. Can't believe I put up with that for 6k miles ...

I took advantage of my parents driveway today and washed out the bed, wheel wells, and engine bay. And with my luck I ruined the cloth hood liner while trying to clean it, the fuel from the other day made it look horrible but I should have left it how it was.

Used my 13 Chevy 5.3 to pull my 13 000lb apartment on wheels to the shop so I could was it and detail it as unfortunately Im selling my 5th wheel trailer dam nice unit hate to see it go but it's times.

I've been trying to sell my parent's '04 Sunnybrook for over a month now. No bites. Guess they're asking too much.

 

EDIT: Had the wrong name, lol - was thinking of the one they had 13 years ago ...

Get a few thick old non-needed bold washers to use. (Stainless Steel) Worked great for my loose hitch.

 

Doesn't mean that you didn't get a bad one. Maybe re-check em again?
